A member asked:
Is it possible to have heart pain without it being life threatening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Some people have "atypical chest pain" with non-life-threatening conditions such as mitral valve prolapse, a virus with mild inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart and lungs (called pleuropericarditis) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or asymmetric septal hypertrophy (abnormal thickening of one or more walls of the heart). However, any cardiac pain merits a careful cardiac evaluation.
