What Is The Cause Of Chest Pain?

I have been struggling with chest pain for 7 months now. I have asthma and have been through many tests including EKG, echo, blood gas, stress test, and most recently colonoscopy and endoscopy. My condition seems to worsen everyday, but nothing is showing up on these tests. I have an appointment with pulmonary doc on the 2nd. Just really concerned and it seems like I can t get any help at the ER.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Chest pain can occur from any structure in the chest from the skin inwards. This means it can originate from the skin, muscles, bones, heart, lungs, esophagus.

The ECG, echo and stress tests would have been able to identify any problems with the heart and the endoscopy would have assessed the esophagus and stomach.

This means that the pain may be from one of the other areas mentioned.

The pulmonary doctor should be able to determine if it is related to the lungs.

I hope this helps
