Pain in the middle of the upper front chest may be the cause of trauma, angina pectoris, mediastinal tumor, esophagitis, leukemia, shingles.
1. Trauma: the middle of the upper chest is subject to violent collision, extrusion, burning, contusion, puncture and other traumatic injuries, resulting in skin breakage, subcutaneous hematoma or even sternal fracture and so on, so this symptom occurs.
2. Angina pectoris: atherosclerotic lesions of coronary arteries lead to narrowing of lumen, insufficient blood supply to cardiomyocytes, increased myocardial oxygen consumption during emotional excitement or strenuous exercise, aggravated myocardial ischemia and anterior thoracic region and retrosternal pain.
3. Mediastinal tumor: teratoma, neurogenic tumor, thymoma originating in the mediastinum or metastatic tumor in the mediastinum invades the pleura and sternum, which stimulates the sensory nerve fibers and causes symptoms.
4. Esophagitis: gastric acid and other gastric contents reflux into the esophagus when the lower esophageal sphincter is dysfunctional, and the corrosive stimulation leads to esophageal ulceration, erosion and other changes, and so the symptom will appear.
5. Leukemia: clonal proliferation of tumor cells in the bone marrow cavity of the sternum leads to increased pressure in the bone marrow cavity, so this symptom will appear.
6. Herpes zoster: varicella-zoster virus infection leads to blister-like changes in the skin, causing pain when it involves the skin in the middle of the upper chest.
Pain in the upper center of the chest may be related to a number of factors, and it is recommended to consult a doctor for a definitive diagnosis.
