A member asked:

My chest is hurting after the loss of a family member. is this emotional pain or physical?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: It is not probable, but it is possible to have cardiac chest discomfort after severe emotional stress. Stress cardiomyopathy is well described and sometimes called "broken heart syndrome". If symptoms persist, it would be worthwhile to get checked out by your doc.
