What reason is upper chest ache?

summary

Once I heard about chest pain, many people know that it may be caused by heart disease. If some patients have serious respiratory diseases, they may cause chest pain. But if some patients have chest pain, what is the cause of upper chest pain? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

What reason is upper chest ache?

First: chest wall muscle spasm: the main characteristics are local tenderness, body position change, causing chest activity, and deep breathing, which can aggravate the pain, but also can be manifested as tingling, spasmodic pain, etc. Most of the reasons are due to long-term posture, bending, supporting the case, strenuous exercise, local cold and so on, which cause chest wall muscle strain and spasm. This kind of chest pain is very common among computer workers.

Second: chest pain caused by heart: the most common is angina pectoris, showing paroxysmal pain, mostly in the precordial area, rarely seen above the heart, and local no tenderness. Rib lesions: the most common is costochondritis, which occurs in the second to fourth costochondral cartilage of the upper chest. Local thickening, swelling, pain and tenderness may occur, but local skin is not red and swollen.

Third: intercostal neuralgia: the pain is often distributed along the intercostal, especially in the axillary midline, paraspinal, and parasternal areas, presenting as tingling or burning pain. Turning, deep breathing, and coughing can aggravate the pain. Pleurisy and chest pain: the pain is mostly in the armpit or near the armpit, often accompanied by low fever, cough, shallow and fast breathing, etc.
