What is the cause of pain in the pit of the stomach

Many people often experience chest pain in their daily lives. Some experience pain in the left chest or the right chest, but some people experience headaches in the pit of their stomach.

In normal times, you need to choose the right method to slowly regulate it, and find the correct cause for treatment.

What causes left side chest pain?

1. Pleurisy due to left chest pain

If chest pain worsens when you take a deep breath or cough, it indicates pleural inflammation, which is more common in patients with tuberculosis or lung tumors. Patients with pleuritic pain may press their hands on one side of the chest wall, avoid deep breathing, or suppress coughing. Over time, chest pain may move from one location to another. In addition, if the lung tumor spreads to the chest wall or ribs, it will cause persistent, intractable chest pain, which can usually be diagnosed by a chest X-ray or chest CT scan.

2. Pneumothorax due to left chest pain

Some young people suddenly experienced chest pain when lifting heavy objects. X-ray examination revealed that it was "pneumothorax". This type of spontaneous pneumothorax is more common in young and middle-aged people. Typical symptoms include sudden chest pain, accompanied by chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, and sometimes shortness of breath, a feeling of suffocation, irritability, cyanosis, sweating, shock, etc.

3. Characteristics of chest pain

Chest pain caused by chest wall diseases is clearly localized and may be accompanied by redness, swelling, tenderness, rash, and deformity.

4. Nature of chest pain

The chest pain caused by intercostal neuritis is paroxysmal, stabbing pain. Esophagitis causes burning pain. Tearing pain is common in dissecting aneurysms.

5. Location of chest pain

Pain behind the sternum is common with angina pectoris. Left anterior chest pain can also be angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, or left-sided pneumonia. Chest pain radiating to the left shoulder is often angina pectoris.
