Is Mild Pain In Chest Of A COPD Patient A Concern?

I am a copd patient whose blood pressure is excellent. Today, i ve started getting a very, very minor pain in the center of my chest, very slightly to the left. It is nothing I can t live with, but it won t go away. Thinking it was indeigetion, took some alka seltzer but it didn t help. Should I worry?

Hello,

Although COPD itself doesn't directly cause pain, symptoms like persistent cough and chest tightness can cause pain. COPD-related pain is usually located in the shoulders, neck, lower back, and chest.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
