A member asked:

What is the best type (genre/specialty) of doctor to see for help in resolving non-cardiac chest pain due to musculoskeletal or tension issues?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

General doctor: See your general doctor. You don't need a specialist for that. The pain will go away soon. If it recurs and it's again due to tension, you may need to discuss this with a psychiatrist - to manage stress in your life.
