You experience chest pain
Unfortunately, chest pain in men may be a symptom of heart or lung disease. Men who experience chest pain describe the symptoms as crushing and burning, or sharp stab and a dull ache. You should call for emergency medical help or talk to your doctor if you experience this type of pain because in some cases, it can lead to a heart attack.Â
“If a man experiences chest discomfort that’s brought on by exertion and goes away with rest in a few minutes, he should seek medical attention promptly. This is the symptom we call ‘angina,’ and it often indicates there’s a narrowing in an artery supplying the heart muscle,” explained cardiologist Barbara Roberts, MD. “Less often, this symptom could be caused by a narrowed aortic valve—the valve that directs blood from the left ventricle, the heart’s main pumping chamber, into the aorta.”
