Dr. Huang Shichang
Chest pain is not necessarily indicative of cardiac neurosis, as the causes of chest pain are complex and may involve various diseases.
1. Possibility of Cardiac Neurosis: Cardiac neurosis is a non-organic heart disease, with symptoms including palpitations, dyspnea, and precordial pain. When a patient presents with chest pain accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations and dyspnea, and no organic lesions are found after comprehensive examinations, the condition may be attributable to cardiac neurosis.
2. Other Possible Causes: Chest pain may also be caused by various other diseases, including cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction; respiratory diseases such as pleurisy and lung abscess; and chest wall diseases such as costochondritis and intercostal neuralgia.
When chest pain occurs, patients should seek timely medical attention and undergo relevant examinations to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate, targeted treatment.
