Hi,
The common causes of chest pain are panic attacks, gastro esophageal reflux disease, gallstones, gastritis etc.Lung problems and heart diseases are other causes of chest pain.Peumonia, pleurisy and pulmonary embolism are lung conditions causing chest pain. In anginal pain there is chest tightness, heavy pressure, squeezing and shortness of breath. A clinical examination is very important for confirming the cause. Tests like X-ray chest and ECG may provide more information. Consult a physician .I sincerely hope it helps. Do keep me posted.
Best wishes and take care!
