Chest pain can be caused by a variety of things, including angina (heart disease), a heart attack, pulmonary embolism, and bronchitis.
Other causes of chest pain can include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), rib fracture, costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage that attaches the ribs to the breastbone), and anxiety.
If you are experiencing chest pain, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause.
