Never Ignore These<br/>Types of Chest Pain.<br/>Chest pain could be due to a number of reasons,<br/>ranging from anxiety to serious heart issues. .<br/>Family medicine specialist Carolyn Kaloostian<br/>recommends any type of chest discomfort be<br/>evaluated, in order to “rule out the scariest issues.” .<br/>Here are the seven types of chest pain you should<br/>always be on the lookout for and never ignore. .<br/>1. Pain that has only intensifies over time<br/>or still hurts even when you’re resting. .<br/>Cardiologist Nicholas Leeper says these<br/>types of pains could be a sign of a heart issue. .<br/>2. Feeling like someone<br/>is laying on your chest. .<br/>Leeper says this type of chest discomfort<br/>can be due to a blood flow blockage,<br/>which could result in a heart attack. .<br/>3. Sharp pain when you lie down<br/>on your side or while breathing.<br/>Board-certified clinical specialist Ethel Frese<br/>says this pain may signal pericarditis, which is an<br/>inflammation of the sac that “holds” the heart.<br/>4. Pain when pushing<br/>down on an area. .<br/>Frese says this may indicate an injury,<br/>such as a strained or torn muscle, a<br/>fractured rib or cartilage inflammation. .<br/>5. Intense pain in your shoulder<br/>or while taking a deep breath.<br/>Kaloostian says this pain is typically associated with<br/>lung issues, such as inflammation or a blood clot. .<br/>6. Burning feeling in or<br/>near your chest. .<br/>This pain is produced by a digestive system issue,<br/>such as acid reflux, an ulcer or a ruptured esophagus. .<br/>7. Sudden tightness that causes<br/>difficulty breathing and palpitations. .<br/>Coupled with sweating, this type of pain<br/>signals a panic attack, which mimics the<br/>symptoms of a heart attack.
