Chest pain should always be taken seriously. It can be caused by a serious heart problem and must be checked out immediately in the emergency room if it is severe and sudden. It is usually accompanied by breathing difficulties. Call the emergency services immediately!

Sometimes there is also a tight or burning sensation in the middle or on the right side of the chest. In the case of a heart attack, these symptoms can occur suddenly and then last for several minutes. In this case, the blood can no longer be pumped to the heart, which is a life-threatening situation.
