26 Medical Reasons Why Your Chest Hurts

Digestive cause: Pancreatitis

Do you experience a pain that starts from the upper abdomen and goes to your chest and back? If yes, you might have pancreatitis. The inflammation of the pancreas is called pancreatitis, and it can be chronic or acute.

The latter one, namely acute pancreatitis, is usually temporary, but the chronic one is there to stay. Chronic pancreatitis leads to irreversible damage to your pancreas, and the common signs of it are vomiting and diarrhea. Due to its symptom, patients experience unwanted weight loss.

Digestive cause: Hiatal Hernia

Pain in both the abdomen and chest is experienced by people with hiatal hernia. Hiatal hernias happen when the stomach starts to expand through the opening of the diaphragm called hiatus, where the esophagus normally passes before connecting with the stomach.

The symptoms of hiatal hernia are the following:

  • vomiting (sometimes with blood)
  • having black stools
  • heartburn

If any of these occur to you, make an appointment immediately.
