Causes of CHEST PAIN

Chest pain can be caused by numerous other medical conditions apart from an onset of heart attack. Some of these are as follows:⁴

Other heart problems, such as angina (chest pain)
Panic attacks
Digestive problems, such as heartburn or food pipe disorders
Sore muscles
Lung diseases
Inflammation of joints in your chest

Ayurveda considers physical inactivity as causative factor which is responsible for wasting of sharir dhatus (body tissues) which aggravates Vata dosha and affects an important organ like heart. Along with physical inactivity, stress also increases rate of heart beat and blood pressure, increasing the heart's need for oxygen. This need for oxygen can bring on chest pain (angina) or Urah Shula (chest pain) in people who already have heart disease. During times of stress, the nervous system releases additional hormones. These hormones increase blood pressure, which can injure the lining of the arteries leading to high blood pressure and thinning of arteries.²
