What causes chest pain in men?

Normal people will not experience chest pain, but many men often feel chest pain. Chest pain may be mainly related to heart disease, and it is not ruled out that it is caused by pleurisy, pneumothorax and other reasons. If the patient often feels coughing, shortness of breath, and has symptoms of palpitations and shortness of breath, there must be something wrong with the body and go for a check-up as soon as possible.

What causes left chest pain?

Pain in the left side of the chest always makes people think that there is something wrong with the heart, but experts say that pain in the left side of the chest is not necessarily a problem with the heart. It may just be pain in the chest wall or stomach acid. It usually occurs after fatigue, overeating, or emotional excitement.

1. Pleurisy with pain in the left chest.

If chest pain gets worse with deep breathing or coughing, it means that there is inflammation of the pleura, which is more common in patients with tuberculosis or lung tumors. Patients with pleural pain will press their hands on one side of the chest wall, avoid deep breathing, or suppress coughing. After a period of time, the chest pain may move from one location to another. In addition, if the lung tumor spreads to the chest wall or ribs, it will cause persistent and stubborn chest pain, which can usually be confirmed by chest X-ray or chest CT.

2. Pneumothorax with pain in the left chest.

Some young people suddenly developed chest pain when lifting heavy objects, and X-ray examinations revealed "pneumothorax", a spontaneous pneumothorax that is more common in young people. Typical manifestations are sudden chest pain, accompanied by chest tightness, breath holding, coughing, sometimes shortness of breath, suffocation, irritability, cyanosis, sweating, shock, etc.

What is the pain on the right side of my chest?

1. Chest muscle strain. This disease is often caused by a history of heavy lifting, and the pain is obvious during activities. It can be treated by applying topical medication such as safflower oil.

2. Intercostal nerve pain. This disease is caused by no reason. It hurts whether you are quiet or active. The more you pay attention to it, the more painful it is. It stops hurting when you divert your attention. In this case, taking blood circulation and blood stasis-dissolving medicine is more effective, such as Naoxuekang Tablets + Fenbid.

3. Heart problems. Since you didn't provide your age and some necessary information, we can't make a judgment. I suggest you do an electrocardiogram to rule out heart problems.

4. Pleurisy. You mentioned above that you had a cold some time ago, but you didn't say whether it was cured. If the cold is not well controlled, it will develop into the lungs and cause chest pain. If this is confirmed, it must be treated with antibiotics.
