Why Does My Heart Area Ache Dullly?

When there is a dull pain in the epigastrium area, it is often considered to be related to factors such as chest wall lesions, respiratory system lesions, or digestive system lesions. For the above possible symptoms, patients can undergo electrocardiogram, X-ray or chest ultrasonography, barium meal examination, and other tests to identify the specific disease and carry out corresponding treatment based on the specific results.

1. Inflammation of the chest wall, including nerves, muscles, and cartilage, can also lead to a dull pain in the epigastrium area.

2. Respiratory diseases such as spontaneous pneumothorax, pleurisy, and pneumonia can also cause a dull pain in the epigastrium area.

3. Digestive system diseases, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, can lead to esophageal mucosal damage due to acid reflux into the esophagus, resulting in a burning sensation behind the sternum, commonly known as heartburn.

1. Heart disease: If it is suspected to be caused by heart disease, cardiac tests can be performed. Electrocardiogram examination, especially capturing the electrocardiogram during the onset of pain, is of clinical significance.

2. Respiratory system diseases: Lung CT or X-ray examination can be performed to understand whether there are lung diseases.

3. Digestive system diseases: Barium meal or gastroscopy can be performed to determine whether there are gastric mucosal injuries and other lesions.
