  1. Pain is always when movement of air is obstructed or restricted (when I say air I allude to 10 types of air inside the body and also the air that is at the sub-atomic level which is prime mover or cause for all movements of the body-- when I say it means ALL). What moves or do not move alongwith the air is a matter of invesitation. Breaking of bone does not give pain, obstruction of movement of air in the surrounding areas due to the swelling caused by immediate first aid given by the defense mechanism of the body itself causes brain to signal pain, indicating that part of the body has to be attended to. Just like a sound gives you the location from where the sound is coming, similarly a pain gives you the location from where the pain is coming. Body is in fact helping you to locate from where the pain is coming so that you do not have to cut open and look at it anatomically to see where things have gone wrong. Develop the acumen and fine instincts to locate the pain, in the patient as well as the doctor, the location, the cause and how to clear it will automatically be known. When it comes to pain in the head, the severety or urgency are indicated. Because the signalling centre itself is effected. In such pains other symptoms have to be evaluated to reach the actual cause of the pain which certainly is somewhere else, and mostly in the stomach. Cause of most of the pains unless externally inflicted do not lie on the point of pain itself. The body emits constantly, several symptoms, which need be closely watched to reach at the diagnosis rather than diagnosing by organs. If chest pain means, heart is effected, muscle is effected, sternum is effected, ribs are affected, lymphatic nodes are effected, lungs are effected is an organ based diagnosis and do not give cure but suppression or management of the malady. Source(s): I believe so.

  2. My answer is that of a layman. Chest pain could be muscular (due to cold weather for example, or due to stress) and or due to gas pressing against the chest and of course could be due to a heart problem. There are differentiating symptoms and after a few emergency room visits, the patient can very well understand the underlying cause most of the time. Source(s): I am a healer and not a doctor
