Other Types of Chest Pain
Other potential causes of chest pain may include:
- Digestive Causes – Chest pain may be caused by heartburn, swallowing disorders of the esophagus, and gallbladder or pancreas issues.
- Muscle and Bone Causes – Some types of chest pain affect structures along the chest wall, including costochondritis with inflamed cartilage on the breastbone, sore muscles, and injured ribs.
- Lung-Related Causes – Some lung disorders cause chest pain, including a blood clot or pulmonary embolism in the lung, pleurisy in the lungs, a collapsed lung, and high blood pressure in your lung arteries.

How Is Chest Pain Treated?
Treatment for chest pain depends on your diagnosis. We may recommend noninvasive procedures, lifestyle changes, or medication. We will recommend surgery to alleviate the medical issues causing your chest pain if needed. The most common treatments for heart-related chest pain include:
- Medications to help widen partially closed arteries, blood thinners, or clot-busting drugs
- Cardiac catheterization using stents or balloons to widen blocked arteries
- Surgical repair of blocked or damaged arteries
