Chest pains can be quite harmless or quite dangerous depending upon the cause. Emotional stress can cause chest tightness and localized pain. Air pollution can cause lung irritation and related chest pains. Persons who eat late in the evening, overeat, or eat in a hurry tend to have frequent indigestion and experience chest pains due to a hiatal hernia.
This condition occurs when the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm due to gas in the bowel. On the other hand, when chest pain is from an occluded blood vessel, a reflex pain is usually felt extending from the chest into the left shoulder and neck area. A thorough checkup including a resting electrocardiogram is recommended for active persons over 40 in an annual physical exam. Don't procrastinate! In over half of the cases of heart disease, there are no warning signs. A massive heart attack and death may be the only sign a doctor sees.
See your health care provider if you have any chest pains! Listen to your body! Slow down when eating, and eat smaller portions. Decrease your dietary fat to 20% of your total calories. Begin a progressive exercise program to maximize circulation and oxygen to the diaphragm and heart. Minimize your sugar intake, since it is directly converted into fat within your body if you do not exercise enough. Maximize your lean body mass through weight training. Make sure you eat 2 fruit servings and 5 vegetable serving every day. Take the Vitality Pack with Oligofructose Complex, CellWise, ProvexCV, and Phytomega daily to ensure adequate nutrient levels.
