    Well, why is your patient having chest pain? Is it cardiac pain? Is it related to an acute MI? Previous cardiac injury? Stable angina? Unstable angina? Pneumonia?

    Once you've decided why your patient is having chest pain, use your text book or a search engine (google is great) to find the pathophysiology of that condition.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Google----->"Chest Pain Pathophysiology" Narrow down your cause and your pathophysiology explanation after doing so. Good Luck!

    what chest pain? costochondritis? rib fracture? foreign body? shingles? esophageal regurgitation? pleurisy? and of course all those we-think-of-that-first cardiac things.

    what do you know already? we don't give your homework to you straight up, even though esme is very generous with resources; we want to know what kind of work you've put into this yourself. :D

    I would assume you need help with chest pain related to cardiac issues.

    Pain is caused by loss of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardial tissue because of inadequate coronary blood flow usually caused by atherosclerosis.
