What Causes Chest Pain?

Chest pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as acid reflux, angina, cardiomyopathy, gallstones, or even anxiety/panic attacks. Severe chest pain can be a sign of a heart attack, which is why it is always important to seek medical attention for any unexplainable chest pain. If pain is unbearable or accompanied by other symptoms, call 911.

The onset of chest pain is often unexpected and can be intensely painful or may present as a dull, persistent ache. Regardless of the cause, it is a good idea to seek immediate medical attention.

The UF Health Difference

At UF Health Emergency & Urgent Care Centers, we utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately diagnose the cause of your chest pain. These may include electrocardiograms (EKGs), blood tests, chest X-rays, and imaging scans like MRIs or CT scans.

Once we establish the cause of your chest pain, our team will tailor a treatment plan best suited to your specific needs. This could range from non-invasive treatments like medication or physical therapy to surgical procedures like cardiac catheterization or coronary bypass surgery, depending on your condition and its severity.
