Chest pain is a common symptom. There are many causes of chest pain, mainly due to diseases in the chest wall, pleura, lungs, cardiovascular system, diaphragm, esophagus and diaphragm. In addition, intercostal nerve diseases often cause chest pain. Therefore, diagnosis is difficult and often needs to be differentiated and identified based on the nature of chest pain, accompanying symptoms, location and time of occurrence.

Here are some common diseases that cause chest pain:

1) Chest wall disease

It is mainly caused by lesions in the chest wall muscles, ribs or intercostal nerves. The main feature is that the pain is often fixed at the site of the lesion, and there are many obvious tender points locally. For example:

1. Intercostal nerve pain, with a tingling sensation along the intercostal nerves, which worsens with coughing and breathing.

2. Chest pain caused by rib fracture, with obvious history of injury or long-term severe cough, and obvious tenderness in the painful area, which is more obvious when squeezed.

3. Chest pain caused by herpes zoster in the chest and abdomen may cause local blisters, and the pain is generally not closely related to coughing or breathing.

2) Trachea, bronchus, lung and pleural diseases

The main feature is that the pain is often related to breathing and coughing.

1. The chest pain of spontaneous pneumothorax occurs suddenly, accompanied by dyspnea, cough, shortness of breath, and even serious conditions such as cyanosis and shock.

2. In pleurisy, the pain is stabbing, most noticeable in the ribs where the chest expands the most.

3. The chest pain of trachea and bronchitis is significantly aggravated when coughing and breathing, and is accompanied by a burning sensation in the chest.

4. In lung diseases such as pulmonary infarction, the pain is mostly localized in the affected area and may feel like a knife cutting. It will get worse with breathing, coughing, or movement.

3) Circulatory system diseases

Common diseases include coronary heart disease, pericarditis, etc.

1. The characteristic of angina attack is a feeling of constriction, pressure or fear in the left front chest or behind the sternum. The attack usually lasts about 30 seconds and can be relieved by taking coronary vasodilation drugs.

2. In addition to the above symptoms, chest pain caused by myocardial infarction can also radiate to the left shoulder, inner side of the left arm, and sometimes to the lower jaw, neck, and even the upper abdomen. The pain is tight and severe, and lasts for more than 30 minutes. Taking coronary vasodilation drugs has no significant effect. At the same time, symptoms such as arrhythmia may occur.

3. Pericarditis. The pain is sometimes very similar to myocardial infarction, but it is aggravated by coughing, breathing, changes in body position, and lying on the left side. The pain also lasts for a long time and cannot be relieved by coronary vasodilators.

4) Digestive system diseases

1. Chest pain caused by cholecystitis and cholelithiasis is mainly in the right lower chest or right back, chest, and abdomen. The pain is mostly colic and spasm, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension and pain.

2. Acute pancreatitis can cause pain in the fossa, left chest wall, upper abdomen and waist, as well as transverse pain around the waist and gastrointestinal symptoms that cannot be relieved by coronary vasodilation drugs.

3. In addition, stomach and duodenal diseases may also cause pain in the lower chest, but generally there are gastrointestinal symptoms.

The above are some of the reasons for right chest pain in men. Experts point out that there are many serious diseases that cause chest pain. People should first have a preliminary understanding and distinguish them, confirm the cause of their right chest pain, and then take the correct method to treat it. I hope it helps.
