Chest Pain
Chest pain is a sign that something is very wrong with your body. In some cases, it can be a sign of deadly heart disease. At other times, it is a sign that your blood does not have enough hemoglobin.
Because hemoglobin brings oxygen to your organs, low hemoglobin can cause distress in almost every organ system. Your heart is not an exception. If your heart is feeling starved of oxygen, it will transmit this distress as pain. It is important to address this as soon as possible because low hemoglobin can cause permanent damage to the heart and other
Chest pain is always a medical emergency until proven otherwise. It can be something as deadly as a heart attack or as simple as being anemic. If you ever feel a pain in your chest that does not go away with changing position, it is time to head for the emergency room.
