Chest pain is a common symptom with a variety of causes, some of which are life-threatening. Symptoms can vary from tightness in the chest, pain in the jaw or arm, vomiting and sweating. At our emergency room, we take chest pain very seriously and use the American Heart Association guidelines to accurately diagnose and treat patients. Some common causes of chest pain may include heart attacks, angina, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Children’s chest pain may be caused by chest wall injury or muscle strain, viral infections, or congenital heart defects. Pleuritic chest pain indicates inflammation of the lining around the lungs. If you experience chest pain, seek immediate medical attention.

Abdominal pain can be a symptom of a wide range of medical conditions that may require urgent medical attention. Symptoms of abdominal pain include dull or sharp pain, cramping, bloating, or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen. When accompanied by other symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, or tenderness to touch abdominal pain may indicate a more serious underlying condition. Our emergency room is staffed by trained professionals who can provide a medical diagnosis for your abdominal pain and the appropriate treatment. If you ever have nausea or vomiting that does not stop, abdominal pain accompanied with fever or tenderness to touch the abdomen, blood in your stool, or unbearable discomfort seek emergency treatment at our facility immediately.
