A member asked:

What do i do if i have chest pains and it feels like it is in my lung rather than having a heart attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest pains: If you're experiencing frequent or persistent chest discomfort, even if not from a heart problem, it could still be a serious issue and warrants an examination by a physician. Chest muscle, rib, lung or esophageal causes may also be serious. Discuss this with your parents and see a physician as needed.
