What causes chest pain in boys?

In fact, chest pain is quite common in men, but many people do not pay much attention to this aspect. There are many reasons for chest pain, such as cholecystitis, coronary heart disease, angina, etc. These diseases may cause chest pain, and these diseases pose a great threat to the health of the body, so they must be treated in time.

What causes chest pain in men: chest wall pain

① The pain is concentrated in one point and the patient can point it out clearly.

②The pain does not last long, usually only one or two seconds each time, and there is a chance of recurrence.

③ The patient experiences sharp or even severe pain in the chest when taking a deep breath, coughing, sneezing or turning around.

④ The pain may be more severe than chest pain caused by other diseases, but most cases will improve within a few days to two or three weeks.

People of any age can get it.

Chest wall pain causes :

① The patient sprains the cartilage between the ribs and becomes inflamed, which is called costochondritis, one of the more common chest wall pain diseases.

② Influenza itself can cause bone pain all over the body, and inflammation caused by viruses such as influenza can also cause chest wall pain.

③ Rib fracture is more rare, but also the most painful.

Treatment of chest wall pain:

The inflamed area will heal on its own without medication. A doctor may prescribe painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen). There is no need to take antibiotics because they have no effect on viruses. If the ribs are broken, you can only wait for the wound to heal on its own.

Treatment of chest pain caused by anxiety: Focus on the mental state and explain in detail that the patient's chest pain has nothing to do with the heart. Talk to them patiently and guide them on how to easily cope with stress. In severe cases, a psychiatrist or psychologist needs to be consulted.

What causes chest pain in men: angina pectoris due to coronary heart disease

① The symptoms are opposite to those of chest pain caused by anxiety, that is, the pain only occurs when walking, exercising, chasing a bus, climbing stairs, etc. The pain stops when you stop.

②The pain lasts for five to ten minutes.

③ The chest, especially the upper chest area, has a feeling of oppression or being "pressed" by the object.

④If the pain lasts for fifteen to thirty minutes and you are sweating, it may be a myocardial infarction and you must go to the emergency room immediately.

Cause of angina: Blockage of the coronary arteries that supply nutrients to the heart.

Angina treatment: Patients with coronary heart disease can take medication to dilate blood vessels and relieve symptoms when they have angina. Or they can undergo coronary bypass surgery to restore normal blood flow.

What causes chest pain in men: Gastroesophageal reflux disease

①Something comes up when you eat too much, lie down or sleep.

② There is a bloating and burning sensation in the chest, and even a sour taste in the mouth.

③There is improvement when sitting up.

Cause of gastroesophageal reflux disease: The "gate" (a set of sphincters) between the esophagus and the stomach relaxes, allowing stomach acid to rise.

Treatment of GERD: Change your lifestyle, such as not eating too much. Take medicine to control gastric acid secretion. The medicine used to treat esophagitis caused by GERD does not directly cure esophagitis, but it can suppress gastric acid secretion. When there is less gastric acid rising, the time and frequency of esophageal irritation are also reduced, and the damaged esophagus has a chance to heal slowly.
