Dr. Wang Xin
Pain in the solar plexus region can be caused by various factors, mainly including:
1. Cardiac diseases: such as angina pectoris, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, etc., which can lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle and cause pain. The pain is usually associated with physical activity and can be relieved by rest or taking nitroglycerin.
2. Digestive system diseases: such as gastric ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux, which may cause stomach acid or food to reflux into the esophagus, resulting in pain in the solar plexus area. The pain is closely related to eating.
3. Pulmonary diseases: such as pulmonary embolism and pneumonia, which may lead to impaired pulmonary blood circulation or inflammation, causing pain in the solar plexus region. The pain may be accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath and dyspnea.
4. Other factors: such as costochondritis and herpes zoster, which can also cause pain in the solar plexus area.
If there is any suspicion, immediate medical consultation and diagnosis are recommended.
