An estimated 200,000 Americans each year
experience non-cardiac
chest pain, which in addition to pain can involve painful swallowing,
discomfort and anxiety.
Watch out for uncomfortable pressure in your
chest (not necessarily in the middle — and not everyone
experiences this), as well as non-
chest pain symptoms, such as
discomfort in one or both arms, nausea or dizziness, which are more common in women, per a study in JAMA Internal Medicine.
