Chest Pain in Amravati: When to Get It Checked and What to Expect

By Dr. Pavan Agrawal, Interventional Cardiologist, Amravati · Updated October 2026 · 2 min read

Not all chest pain comes from the heart, but some of it does, and it can be serious. Knowing which signs need an emergency visit and which need a check-up can save time when time matters.

Treat it as an emergency if

• The pain is heavy, tight or pressing and lasts more than a few minutes
• It spreads to the left arm, jaw, neck or back
• It comes with sweating, breathlessness, nausea or a feeling of faintness

In these cases, call 112 or the hospital on 95116 13365 straight away, or go to the nearest emergency room. Do not wait for an appointment and do not drive yourself. Radiant Hospital emergency services are open 24x7.

See a cardiologist soon if

• Chest discomfort comes on with walking, climbing stairs or stress and eases with rest
• You get new breathlessness or tiredness with usual activity
• You have palpitations or a racing heart that keeps returning

What a doctor may do

The doctor will ask about your symptoms and risk factors and examine you. An ECG is often done first. Depending on the findings, further tests such as echo, a treadmill test or coronary angiography may be advised.

Only a doctor who has examined you can say what is causing your chest pain. Do not rely on this page to decide whether it is serious.
