Man with chest pain visiting GP doctor
Consultation. A man visits his general practice doctor complaining of chest pain. The device on the table is a sphygmomanometer, used for measuring blood pressure. Chest pain does not usually mean a heart attack is imminent but it may indicate one of a number of serious underlying disorders, including lung disease, hiatus hernia, peptic ulcer and damage to the spinal cord. The usual cause, however, is muscle strain or an injury. The doctor's diagnosis takes into account the type (such as burning or stabbing), location, severity and duration of the pain, among other details. Heart attack causes a severe, crushing pain in the centre of the chest and left arm.
