"If the chest pain was not too heavy, it also does not mean instead of a heart attack," said Dr.. Anna Marie Chang, researchers and doctors at the emergency room (ER) Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
He conducted a study of 3300 patients who came to the ER. Using a scale of 0-10, with 0 describing no pain and 10 as very ill, Chang and his team then studied the health of patients over 30 days to see if there is heart disease-related events.

"The cause of chest pain is probably not a heart attack but it could be something serious," said Dr.. James Feldman, a doctor at the emergency room of Boston Medical Center.
Classic heart attack symptoms include chest pain or feeling depressed, but other symptoms are shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and fainting. Besides the pain of a heart attack does not always exist in the chest.
"Pain may arise in the chest, arm, jaw, back or stomach and can vary in every patient," said Dr.Rajiv Gulati, a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic.
