Therefore, it is essential to identify the source of the disease in order to treat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Skin<\/li><li>Nerves near the surface of the body<\/li><li>Muscle<\/li><li>Bone<\/li><li>Digestive system (esophagus, stomach, duodenum, etc.)<\/li><li>Respiratory system (lungs, trachea, etc.)<\/li><li>Circulatory system (heart and blood vessels)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if no clear cause is found no matter how many tests are performed, it may be that a mental illness is the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, heartburn refers to symptoms such as a tingling pain in the chest or a sour feeling. The main cause is when stomach acid, which is normally produced in the stomach and should only be used for digestion within the stomach, refluxes into the esophagus for some reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to keep in mind when you have chest pain\/heartburn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, chest pain is often caused by a life-threatening illness. If you experience severe pain, of course, but if you think it&#8217;s okay because the pain isn&#8217;t that bad, your condition may worsen in an instant, so you should generally call an ambulance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heartburn is a little different, and there is rarely a need to rush to a medical institution. First, avoid activities that put strain on the body, such as overeating (especially fatty foods), excessive alcohol consumption, stress, and smoking. However, if the symptoms persist for a long period of time, it may be necessary to undergo an examination to thoroughly investigate the cause. Consult a doctor at a clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible causes of chest pain\/heartburn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a wide variety of conditions that can cause chest pain\/heartburn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflux esophagitis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach acid flows backward into the esophagus. It is said to be more common in obese people, and if you experience heartburn when lying down or after eating, or a vague sour taste, it is highly likely that you have reflux esophagitis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-lazyblock-link-card lazyblock-link-card-Z2etJrx\"><div class=\"c-card\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicten.jp\/zh-cn\/internal-medicine\/gerd\/\" class=\"c-card__link\">\n\t\t<p class=\"c-card__title\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"c-card__icon c-icon--stethoscope\"><\/i>\t\t\t<span class=\"c-card__label\">Reflux esophagitis<\/span>\n\t\t\t<i class=\"c-card__arrow c-icon--arrow-r\"><\/i>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"c-card__body\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"c-card__text\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"c-card__more c-btn c-btn--s\">View Details<i class=\"c-icon--arrow-r\"><\/i><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spontaneous pneumothorax<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spontaneous pneumothorax is a condition in which a hole develops in the lung, causing air to leak into the body. It is more likely to occur in young, thin men with small chests, and the risk is higher if you smoke or have smoked in the past. If you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Angina pectoris (exertional angina, vasospastic angina)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Many people are probably familiar with the term angina pectoris. If you experience chest pain when going up and down stairs or climbing slopes, this is also a possibility. Angina pectoris may also be the cause if similar chest pain occurs at night or early in the morning and lasts for about an hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-lazyblock-link-card lazyblock-link-card-CzYyU\"><div class=\"c-card\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicten.jp\/zh-cn\/internal-medicine\/ischemia\/\" class=\"c-card__link\">\n\t\t<p class=\"c-card__title\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"c-card__icon c-icon--stethoscope\"><\/i>\t\t\t<span class=\"c-card__label\">Angina pectoris\/myocardial infarction<\/span>\n\t\t\t<i class=\"c-card__arrow c-icon--arrow-r\"><\/i>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"c-card__body\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"c-card__text\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"c-card__more c-btn c-btn--s\">View Details<i class=\"c-icon--arrow-r\"><\/i><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mallory-Weiss syndrome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>You may not have heard of this disease, but it is a condition in which the junction between the esophagus and stomach tears due to repeated vomiting. If you experience chest pain immediately after vomiting or if your vomit contains blood, you will need to go to the hospital to have the bleeding stopped.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-lazyblock-link-card lazyblock-link-card-1PGlGR\"><div class=\"c-card\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/clinicten.jp\/zh-cn\/internal-medicine\/mallory-weiss\/\" class=\"c-card__link\">\n\t\t<p class=\"c-card__title\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"c-card__icon c-icon--stethoscope\"><\/i>\t\t\t<span class=\"c-card__label\">Mallory-Weiss syndrome<\/span>\n\t\t\t<i class=\"c-card__arrow c-icon--arrow-r\"><\/i>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"c-card__body\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"c-card__text\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"c-card__more c-btn c-btn--s\">View Details<i class=\"c-icon--arrow-r\"><\/i><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many other possible causes, and it is not uncommon for something to turn out to be a very dangerous condition despite being thought to be nothing serious.
