Dull pain above left chest

If there is eye pain above the left chest, it may be caused by heart disease, such as angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, etc. If it lasts for a long time, you must be vigilant. In addition, you should observe whether there are other symptoms. At this time, you should go to the hospital for regular examination in time to determine the cause and then receive regular treatment. In addition to heart diseases, pleurisy and pneumothorax may cause this symptom.

Dull pain above left chest

First: If the chest pain worsens when you take a deep breath or cough, it means the problem is with the pleura, which is more common in patients with tuberculosis or lung tumors. Patients with pleuritic pain may press their hands on one side of the chest wall, avoid deep breathing, or suppress coughing. Over time, chest pain may move from one location to another. Timely treatment is required.

Second: Some young people suddenly experienced chest pain when lifting heavy objects. X-ray examination revealed "pneumothorax". The typical manifestations were sudden chest pain, accompanied by chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing, and sometimes shortness of breath, feeling of suffocation, irritability, cyanosis, sweating, shock, etc. So chest pain is not necessarily a problem exclusive to the elderly.

Third: Pay attention to the location of chest pain. Pain behind the sternum is common in angina pectoris. Left anterior chest pain can also be angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, or left-sided pneumonia. Chest pain radiating to the left shoulder is often angina pectoris. The chest pain caused by neuritis is paroxysmal and stabbing. Sometimes esophagitis causes burning pain. Tearing pain is common in dissecting aneurysms.

Pleuritic pain in the left chest.

If chest pain worsens when you take a deep breath or cough, it indicates pleural inflammation, which is more common in patients with tuberculosis or lung tumors. Patients with pleuritic pain may press their hands on one side of the chest wall, avoid deep breathing, or suppress coughing. Over time, chest pain may move from one location to another. In addition, if the lung tumor spreads to the chest wall or ribs, it will cause persistent, intractable chest pain, which can usually be diagnosed by a chest X-ray or chest CT scan.

Pneumothorax with pain in left chest.

Some young people suddenly experienced chest pain when lifting heavy objects. X-ray examination revealed that it was "pneumothorax". This type of spontaneous pneumothorax is more common in young and middle-aged people. Typical symptoms include sudden chest pain, accompanied by chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, and sometimes shortness of breath, a feeling of suffocation, irritability, cyanosis, sweating, shock, etc.
