Which department should men go to for chest pain?

Male friends must pay attention to chest pain symptoms if they have them. Some problems will affect their physical health, and many diseases will be accompanied by chest pain before they occur. Therefore, they must not be ignored. You must go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. It is very likely that you will find diseases such as costochondritis or angina. Finally, you must receive some targeted treatment based on the results of the examination.

1. Chest pain caused by costochondritis may be related to viral infection or trauma. The course of the disease may last for several hours or days, but it may relapse, often self-healing within a few months, and some may last for several years. It may be due to: ① Physical fatigue: excessive fatigue caused by previous intense and prolonged labor. ② Overeating, drinking and excessive smoking. ③ Excessive mental and nervous excitement and agitation. ④ Severe heart failure: unstable angina. ⑤ Hypopotassium and hypomagnesium. ⑥ Certain antiarrhythmic drugs.

2. Possible diseases include: rib osteomyelitis, infectious costochondria, slipped rib syndrome, angina pectoris, etc.

1. Unstable angina

Unstable angina is characterized by progressive worsening of angina symptoms, new onset of rest or nocturnal angina, or angina that lasts longer.

2. Pain in the precordial area

Precordial dull pain is mainly seen in the fibrin infiltration stage of acute pericarditis. There are no pain nerves on the inner surface of the visceral and parietal layers of the pericardium. The pain fibers of the phrenic nerve are distributed on the outer surface of the parietal layer below the level of the fifth or sixth intercostal space. Therefore, pain only occurs when the lesions spread to this part of the pericardium or the nearby pleura and septum. Precordial dull pain often worsens with changes in body position, deep breathing, coughing, swallowing, lying down, especially when raising the legs or lying on the left side, and is relieved when sitting or leaning forward. The pain is usually limited to the substernal or precordial area, and often radiates to the left shoulder, back, neck or upper abdomen, and occasionally radiates to the jaw, left forearm and hand.

3. Pain in the fossa

People often call the pain in the fossa epigastric pain, and the pain in this area is mostly caused by stomach and duodenal diseases. In addition to the stomach and duodenum, the gallbladder, pancreas, left lobe of the liver, common bile duct and heart are all close to or near the fossa, and diseases of these organs can also cause "stomach pain".
