Several things: It is important to rule out catastrophic causes like acs, dissection of aorta . Constochondritis and muscular problems . Pneumonia and pul conditions. Gi conditions like gerd esophageal spasms could also cause chestpain. Nature, duration, location , associated symptoms and patient risk factors are helpful in initial assessment.
