Chest pain can also be a sign of anything from muscle strain to a heart attack. If you're experiencing a chest pain you cannot explain, it may be a symptom of atherosclerosis in your coronary arteries. Complications that arise with a narrowing of these arteries include coronary artery disease and heart attack. It is important to see a doctor if you are experiencing chest pain of any kind.
