Which type of tests do they do when someone is having chest pain that comes & goes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on the ty: The type of pain can point to the source of chest pain which can be from lungs, heart or musculoskeletal strructures. You should see your docotr to help you sort it out if the pain has persisted beyond one week or if it is getting worse. There are several causes of chest pain...Without detailed history, physical exam and some simple tests like a chest x-ray or ekg, it is hard to point to the caus.
