What Is The Cause For Sudden Chest Pain?

I had sudden chest pain this morning. It has fluctuated in intensity and I have no other symptom. I'm eating just fine and can do everything I normally do except a complete gym workout. It seems to hurt more when i bend down. Should i go to the emergency room or wait to make a doctor appointment?

Hello

Sudden chest pain may be due to many causes like acidity,cardio-pulmonary causes,muculoskeletal causes etc.
It is always safe to exclude cardio-pulmonary causes in chest pain.
You may need proper clinical examination and few investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME,chest X-ray (PA view),ultrasound of abdomen,ECG,TMT,ECHO.

Empirically you can take pantoprazole 40 mg half hour before breakfast in the morning for four weeks.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Take Care
