Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Is Chest Pain Due to Lung Cancer Serious?

Constant chest pain need not always be an accompaniment of lung cancer. The lungs have very few nerve endings and hence is always possible for a tumour to grow without causing any pain or discomfort. In some cases, chest pain has been identified with lung cancer.

2. What are Angina Pectoris Causes? Is This Related to Chest Pain?

A severe form of chest pain is known as angina pectoris. Typically, this pain will radiate to the shoulders and arms too, thus putting you at a greater discomfort and pain. When the heart muscle does not get enough blood, angina pectoris occurs. When the arteries are narrowed or blocked, the associated condition is called ischemia.

3. Can Ulcer Cause Chest Pain?

Ulcers are sometimes mild and sometimes very painful too. Ulcers can trigger a burning sensation in the chest as well, which is a symptom of the ulcer, along with other symptoms like a sour taste in the mouth, severe backache etc.
