What's the difference between epigastric pain and chest pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anatomical sites: There is no real difference except for the anatomical site- chest pain can be due to several causes including heart/ lungs, but epigastric pain usually implies pain coming from stomach or esophagus.
