Dr. Atiemo:
Chest pain can arise from multiple different etiologies. There are many causes for chest pain and it’s very important to consider that chest pain could be coming from the heart.
Again, there are certain things that would make one at more of a risk for having heart disease and the key things would be having a family history of heart disease, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight.
