Chest Pain or Discomfort

Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition where the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque.

 

This reduces blood flow to the heart, which can cause chest pain (angina) and increase the risk of heart attack. CAD develops gradually and is often linked to lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, and smoking.

 

Treating CAD can help improve heart function, reduce symptoms, and prevent serious complications.

Pulmonary Embolism

A pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot blocks one of the arteries in the lungs. This blockage restricts blood flow, reducing oxygen levels and putting strain on the heart.

 

Common symptoms include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, and sometimes coughing up blood. Pulmonary embolism is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention, as it can lead to life-threatening complications if left untreated.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

While chest pain can have various causes, it’s also associated with congestive heart failure when the heart struggles to meet the body’s oxygen demands.

 

Dr. Reddy can help assess whether CHF is contributing to your chest discomfort and discuss options for managing your heart health.
