Specializes in Critical Care

Chest pain common: Patients at high risk for heart disease (family history, tobacco use, hypertension, high cholesterol) who present with chest pain should always be taken seriously. However, in a healthy person with low risk, chest pain may be musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal or even anxiety related. Angina (heart pain) can be difficult to diagnose if it occurs in low risk patients.
