PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR CHEST PAINS

Injury or trauma to the chest wall
2. Cardiac Causes (heart-related)

Hypertension (high blood pressure) leading to discomfort
Early signs of heart disease
3. Respiratory Causes
Asthma or bronchitis
Chest infections (pneumonia, tuberculosis)

Symptoms to Watch Out For
