Chest pain burning in neck

If the chest pain is severe, prolonged, or associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath, nausea, or lightheadedness, seek medical attention immediately. Don't ignore chest pain, even if you suspect it may not be heart related. Consult your nearest cardiologist or heart hospital.

I have left sided, lower rib pain underneath my left breast. It feels sharp, but only lasts for 5 minutes. When I breathe deeply, it gets irritated. I was wondering if this is something serious?

The symptoms you told can have various causes, from muscle strain to potential lung or chest wall issues. It may or may not be serious but its imp to check with a cardiology specialist as they can perform tests to know the exact cause and provide appropriate treatment, ensuring any serious conditions are ruled out.

Can you tell me the meaning of cardiovascular infection in your lung with no pneumonia?

The term "cardiovascular infection in the lung with no pneumonia" is not a recognized medical diagnosis. Infections in the lung are usually classified as respiratory infections, and cardiovascular issues related to the heart and blood vessels. To gain a clear understanding of your condition, talk to your nearest cardiologist who can provide an accurate diagnosis.

I have pain in my chest but x-ray and blood test, and mucus test are okay. What can happen to me?

Experiencing chest pain despite normal X-rays, blood tests, and mucus tests can have several possible explanations. It might be related to musculoskeletal issues, anxiety, acid reflux, or other respiratory conditions not easily detected by these initial tests. If the pain is related to heart issues, a cardiologist may be recommended for a more specialized evaluation.

What Could Be Causing Nausea and Chest Discomfort After Ischemic Stroke in a 71 Year Old?

The causes of your father’s chest pain and burning sensations include acid reflux, anxiety or medication side effect. But considering his past medical history of ischemic stroke and age, a cardiac cause must be excluded. I suggest a cardiologist referral for further evaluation and treatment. He should continue with the medication used to treat his stroke and have regular visits from a health care provider.
