Chest Pain

About Chest Pain

Chest pain and chest tightness bring people to DrTalks who want to know what's behind it. A squeezing feeling with stress, chest discomfort with long COVID, heart symptoms that were written off as anxiety, or a family history that has you worried are all things these experts talk about. These talks also go past the moment of pain. The videos look at how inflammation, damaged blood vessels, cholesterol, blood sugar, stress and emotions, and even infections and nutrient gaps affect the heart. You'll find conversations on heart disease in midlife women, early heart scans, lifestyle and plant-based approaches, and why symptoms can seem to come on suddenly. Cardiologists, doctors and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from heart imaging to cholesterol and ApoB panels, and what helps, from plant-based eating and exercise to stress care and medication. New, sudden or severe chest pain needs prompt medical care.
