Having any kind of chest pain is a worrying
experience. Your chest is the housing for some of
your most vital organs, so the general advice
when having chest pains is to contact your
nearest AE, which in itself is a stressful thing
to go through. Here, at Venturi Cardiology, we
believe that peace of mind goes a long way
towards both mental health and physical health.
Being calm and in control during situations of
stress helps to keep your blood

• pressure stable and your thinking clear.
  Our heart health blogs are designed to educate
  and reassure about all things related to
  cardiovascular problems.
• There are many potential causes of chest pain
• Heartburn or indigestion  If it starts after
  eating and you bring up acidic fluids or food,
  this could be indigestion. The best thing to do
  is to take an antacid, popular brands being
  Rennie and Gaviscon, which should help almost
  immediately. 
• Anxiety or panic attack  This causes sweating,
  dizziness, an elevated heart rate, and chest
  pains. Something helpful to try here is deep
  breathing and taking yourself off to a quiet
  space to calm down if you can.

• Chest infection or pneumonia  If you cough up
  yellow and green mucus and have a high
  temperature and pains, it is likely a chest
  infection or pneumonia. The best thing here is to
  rest, drink plenty of fluids and seek medical
  advice for a potential antibiotic prescription to
  fight the infection. 
• Shingles  Shingles cause a tingling on the skin,
  chest pains and a rash that blisters after a few
  days. You can take pain relief for shingles, keep
  your rash clean, and use a cold compress to
  manage swelling and itching. 
• Pericarditis  This condition causes a sudden
  sharp pain in your chest which worsens when you
  breathe or lie down. If this is the case, contact
  your GP immediately or book in with a private
  cardiology clinic, like here at Venturi
  Cardiology, as this can be a symptom of an
  underlying heart condition. We will be happy to
  check you over and advise on the next steps.

• Angina or heart attack  this is the cause that
  is most commonly feared when chest pains occur.
  However, if you recognise the signs, a timely
  diagnosis could make all the difference. A range
  of cardiology tests will provide you with a
  comprehensive report concerning your heart
  health.
• If you begin to experience chest pains, please
  seek medical advice for further guidance. If you
  would like to know more about your heart health,
  and would like a timely and thorough examination
  to allay any fears you any have, book a
  consultation with us today.
