Chest pain can be a concerning symptom, often mistaken for an asthma attack. Understanding the difference is crucial for proper response and treatment.
Asthma-related chest pain is usually accompanied by wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Cardiac-related chest pain often feels heavy and may radiate to the arms or neck.
If you're unsure, seek medical attention immediately. Carry your inhaler for asthma-related issues and monitor symptoms closely.
Distinguishing asthma from cardiac issues can save lives. Don't delay seeking help.
