From Sandra RN {critical care} Whenever you have chest pain ask yourself these: Is the pain sharp, dull, burning or does it feel like pressure. What relieves the pain? Rest, fluids, medications like ibuprofen or zantac? Does exertion increase the pain? Do you experience other symptoms like shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, profuse sweating. Where does the pain radiate to your arm, jaw, back or abdomen? ANY pain that is accompanied by shortness of breath is potentially life threatening- **Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) pain is usually associated with substernal chest pressure, shortness of breath, dizziness, profuse sweating, radiation to jaw and left arm. Sharp chest pain is usually associated with pleurisy, pulmonary embolus(blood clot to your lung) or chest wall injuries. Other causes could be GERD, gallstones and so on
