A member asked:
My husband often feels pressure.(pain) on chest. what is causing this pain or what is happening inside his body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: The causes of chest pressure are varied. Some are more worrisome and life threatening, and some are much less so. Someone with frequent episodes of chest pain needs to have this evaluated by a physician to ensure it is not due to potentially an impending heart attack. If the pattern changes at all, becomes more frequent or more worrisome, this is an emergency room evaluation right now.
