Dr. P Says: Chest Pain Is NOT Something You “Wait and See About” 🫀

 

Let me say this clearly…

Chest pain should NEVER be ignored.

Too many people in Queens and across New York City try to “sleep it off,” pray it away, or convince themselves it is “just gas.”

Dr. P Says:
Sometimes it IS reflux.
Sometimes it IS muscle pain.

…but sometimes it is something much more serious.

Chest discomfort may be related to:

  • Heart attacks
  • Uncontrolled blood pressure
  • Anxiety or panic attacks
  • Acid reflux
  • Lung conditions
  • Blood clots
  • Heart rhythm problems

Symptoms people often ignore:

🚩 Pressure in the chest
🚩 Tightness
🚩 Burning sensation
🚩 Pain going into the arm, jaw, or back
🚩 Shortness of breath
🚩 Sweating
🚩 Dizziness
🚩 Nausea

And no — heart symptoms do NOT always look dramatic like the movies.

Especially in women, symptoms can be subtle.

Dr. P Says:

I would much rather you get checked and it be “nothing serious” than ignore something dangerous.

At Outlier Health & Wellness, we encourage patients to take symptoms seriously and stop normalizing discomfort.
