Many diseases may affect the chest, and one of the most common symptoms is chest pain.

Serious and relatively common causes include acute coronary syndrome such as a heart attack (31%), pulmonary embolism (2%), pneumothorax, pericarditis (4%), aortic dissection (1%), and esophageal rupture. In adults the most common causes of chest pain include: gastrointestinal (42%), coronary artery disease (31%), musculoskeletal (28%), pericarditis (4%) and pulmonary embolism (2%).

Symptoms of a PE may include shortness of breath, chest pain particularly upon breathing in, and coughing up blood.

It can be divided into heart-related and non heart related pain.

Cardiovascular diseases frequently do not have symptoms or may cause chest pain or shortness of breath.

The most common symptom is chest pain, often radiating to the left shoulder or angle of the jaw, crushing, central and associated with nausea and sweating.

Other common causes include gastroesophageal reflux disease (30%), muscle or skeletal pain (28%), pneumonia (2%), shingles (0.5%), and anxiety disorders.

Typically symptoms include some combination of productive or dry cough, chest pain, fever, and trouble breathing.

Other common causes include gastroesophageal reflux disease (30%), muscle or skeletal pain (28%), pneumonia (2%), shingles (0.5%), and anxiety disorders.

Pain due to insufficient blood flow to the heart is also called angina pectoris.

Angina, also known as angina pectoris, is chest pain or pressure, usually due to not enough blood flow to the heart muscle.

Symptoms may include chest pain and a prolonged cough producing sputum.

Achalasia is characterized by difficulty in swallowing, regurgitation, and sometimes chest pain.
