Ayurvedic Treatment for Chest pain

CHEST PAIN Ayurvedic Treatment

Since chest pain can indicate a life-threatening situation, doctors will first check and rule out heart attack. They may also check for life-threatening lung conditions — such as a collapsed lung or a lump in your lung.

Some of the first tests to diagnose chest pain include:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG):This test records the electrical activity of your heart through electrodes attached to your skin. Because injured heart muscle doesn't conduct electrical impulses normally, the ECG may show that a heart attack has occurred or is in progress.
• Blood tests:Your doctor may order blood tests to check for increased levels of certain proteins normally found in heart muscle. Damage to heart cells from a heart attack may allow these proteins to leak, over a period of hours, into your blood.
• Chest X-ray:An X-ray of your chest allows doctors to check the condition of your lungs and the size and shape of your heart and major blood vessels.
• Computerized tomography (CT scan):CT scans can be used to look for a blood lump in your lungs.
