There are a number of vital organs in the chest, so burning in the chest can be symptoms of several diseases. Some of them can be extremely serious and require the intervention of a doctor immediately.
Burning in the chest in the middle is a manifestation of many diseases: angina pectoris, colds, problems with neuralgia and scoliosis, gastrointestinal diseases, psychological stress, heartburn or nerve injury. Let's talk briefly about each of these diseases.
Angina pectoris. Pretty dangerous disease. Most often, the pain manifests itself after performing physical activity. It is directed to the left hand, back, neck and lower jaw. The cause of angina pectoris is the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the walls of the coronary arteries. Which gradually leads to blockage of the coronary arteries, through which oxygen and nutrients pass to the heart. It is unacceptable to postpone the treatment of angina pectoris, since with a frivolous attitude to it, it can be myocardial infarction.
Colds. Also capable of causing pain and burning in the chest . If these symptoms appear, it is necessary to consult a doctor and pass the necessary tests in order to exclude myocarditis and rheumatism.
Neuralgia and scoliosis. Pain and burning sensation may occur when performing simple movements, for example, when turning the body, raising your hand, or breathing. Perhaps this will be signs of neuralgia or scoliosis, in which case it is necessary to contact an osteopath.
Gastrointestinal diseases. If a burning sensation in the chest occurs after eating, it may be signs of gastritis, pancreatitis, problems with the duodenum, or stomach ulcers.
Heartburn. It is very clearly manifested in a supine position, accompanied by unpleasant sensations, sometimes accompanied by belching. Burning in the chest with heartburn can be neutralized by the use of seeds, milk, a piece of raw potatoes. In another case, there are many pills for heartburn.
Now let's talk about what symptoms a burning sensation in the chest in the right carries, this may mean atypical myocardial infarction.
Myocardial infarction. It is necrosis of the heart muscle, with an acute lack of blood in the coronary arteries that nourish the heart tissue. This condition is an emergency. The risk of death is very high, especially in the first 2 hours from the onset, which decreases after the patient enters the intensive care unit, where he is diluted with a thrombus called thrombolysis. Causes of a heart attack can be: lack of motor activity on the background of psycho - emotional overload, poor nutrition, overeating, excess animal fats in food, bad habits, hypertension. In addition, the likelihood of a heart attack in sedentary people is several times higher than in physically active people.
Vegetoneurosis and VVD. Patients have increased fatigue, meteorological dependence, inability to mental and physical stress. Also noted are impaired motor function of the esophagus. It is accompanied by pressure in the sternum, burning, pain behind the sternum and between the shoulder blades. With VVD, it is necessary to increase the body's resistance to psychological stress, normalize working time, engage in physical exercises or undergo wellness treatment in a sanatorium. Drug treatment is poorly developed, and there are only a few drugs that slightly block certain parts of the nervous system.
Burning in the chest causes many diseases that most often should not be ignored, as some of them can be fatal. Therefore, when the first symptoms appear, it is best to consult a doctor immediately.
