“How do you know if chest pain is not heart related?”
I have chest pain for a week. I am afraid it's from the heart. How do you know if chest pain is not heart related?

It can be very difficult sometimes to know whether chest pain is cardiac or muscle, or gastrointestinal. Usually cardiac chest pain is a heavy pressure type,which can radiate to the left shoulder, jaw , and down the left arm to the elbow. There can be shortness of breath , nausea, dizziness, associated with the pain. If you are not sure what is happening, go see your doctor and get an exam and EKG.
