Frequently Asked Questions
Which doctor should I see for chest pain?
Sudden or severe chest pain needs emergency care. For ongoing or occasional chest discomfort, a cardiologist can find out whether it is heart-related.
Which tests check the heart?
Common tests are ECG, echocardiography (echo), treadmill test (TMT), blood tests and, when needed, CT coronary angiography or angiography.
Is every chest pain a heart attack?
No. Chest pain can also come from acidity, muscle strain or lung problems. Because heart attacks can look similar, chest pain should not be ignored.
