Related symptoms we treat
Chest pain may occur alongside other concerning symptoms. We also treat:
Shortness of breath
Breathing difficulties may signal a heart, lung, or anxiety-related emergency.
Dizziness or fainting from dehydration
Feeling dizzy or faint is often linked to dehydration, especially in hot weather or after illness. When your body doesn’t have enough fluids, your blood pressure can drop, reducing blood flow to the brain and causing lightheadedness.
Severe abdominal pain
Sudden or ongoing abdominal pain may mimic or accompany chest pain.
We’re open 24/7, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends, and holidays, so care is always here when you need it.
