A member asked:
Does heart pain feels like muscle chest pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be difficult to tell the difference. If you are able to reproduce the discomfort by pressing on your chest, this is not heart pain. Heart pain typically does not increase with deep breathing but chest wall muscle pain can. When in doubt, see a doctor to determine whether the pain is cardiac or not. It is not always easy to tell the difference-testing like EKG is sometimes needed. Good luck!
