Understanding Chest Pain: Is It Heart-Related?
Chest pain can happen for many reasons, but one of the most common is angina—when the heart’s blood vessels narrow, reducing blood flow. It often feels like a tightness when you’re active, like walking, and may be a sign of underlying heart disease.
If you have any of the following risk factors, it’s important to get it checked:
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- A family history of heart disease
Your heart works hard for you every day. If you’re experiencing chest pain, don’t wait—expert care can give you clarity, peace of mind, and the right path forward.
Getting to the Heart of Your Chest Pain
At OneMedicine, we know how worrying chest pain can be. That’s why we offer a range of advanced tests to give you clear answers and peace of mind—quickly and accurately.
Exercise ECG (Stress Test)
A simple, effective way to see how your heart responds to activity. While you walk on a treadmill, we monitor your heart’s performance, helping us assess whether narrowed arteries could be the cause of your discomfort.
CT Coronary Angiogram & Calcium Scoring
A non-invasive scan that takes a closer look at your heart’s arteries, measuring calcium buildup and helping rule out heart disease. It’s especially useful for those at lower risk but experiencing symptoms.
Coronary Angiogram
For a more detailed view, this minimally invasive procedure lets us see inside your heart’s blood vessels in real-time. A fine tube is carefully guided into an artery, and a contrast dye highlights any blockages—helping us get straight to the cause of your symptoms.
Your heart health matters, and getting the right answers shouldn’t be complicated. At OneMedicine, we combine expert care with the latest technology to give you clarity, reassurance, and a path forward.
When to Seek Help for Chest Pain
Chest pain isn’t always cause for alarm, but it’s always worth paying attention to. If you experience any of the following, it’s important to get checked:
- Pain during physical activity – a tight, heavy, or squeezing sensation.
- Discomfort or tightness that won’t go away – even when you’re resting.
- Pain that spreads – to your arms, neck, or jaw.
- Shortness of breath, nausea, or dizziness – especially if it comes on suddenly.
Your heart health matters. Catching problems early can help prevent serious complications. At OneMedicine, Dr Ahmed provides expert, compassionate care—so you can feel confident in your health and your future.
