<bot>: Thanks for asking your question chest pain can be due to local issues like injury, and other causes may be - lung related-pleura related- cardiac no need to panic you need to consult a chest physician or a Pulmonologist who can examine and may request for some investigations like a chest X-ray and an ECG which ll help to reach to a certain diagnosis in my patients I start them on proton pump inhibitors and analgesics like paracetamol and examine and investigate themthanksfeel free to ask more.
