Is the dull left chest pain and back pain caused by heart disease?

Ask
Hello doctor! I have a dull pain in the left chest and the back of the bone is very uncomfortable. Every time I cough or blow my nose strongly, it feels very painful. I don't know if my pain is due to heart attack or breast pain, because sometimes I feel like my heart and chest like pain in the left rib cage. Looking forward to consulting your doctor! Thank you very much doctor!

Hello, thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System, to your question, I would like to answer as follows: Chest tightness is a common symptom for patients. many groups of diseases, from mild to severe, from simple to complex.
In your age group, the likelihood of chest pain due to cardiovascular disease is low and the nature of the pain is also atypical for cardiovascular disease. With the symptoms you describe, there is not enough data to make a definitive diagnosis. But there is a high chance that chest pain is caused by non-cardiac causes (intercostal neuralgia, costal cartilage, myalgia, psychological) This group of causes is usually benign.
To determine the exact cause, you should go to the doctor and perform other subclinical tests such as electrocardiogram, echocardiogram...
Wish you a lot of health!
