Anxiety or panic attacks often bring on chest pain, accompanied by intense fear, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing (hyperventilation), profuse sweating, and shortness of breath. One dermatologic cause is herpes zoster (shingles).
Costochondritis, rib fracture, compression fracture are examples of musculoskeletal causes.
Pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, pleuritis, neoplasm and bronchitis are pulmonary causes. Reflux esophagitis, esophageal spasm, esophageal perforation, gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, and achalasia are examples of gastroesophageal causes. Examples of non-ischemic cardiac causes of chest pain include pericarditits, aortic dissection and mitral valve prolapse.Įxample of non-cardiac causes include gastroesophageal, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and dermatologic events. The characteristics of chest pain depend on the cause, and may be classified as Ischemic, non-ischemic, non-cardiac gastroesphageal, pulmonary, or musculoskeletal.Įxamples of Ischemic cardiac diagnoses includes angina, myocardial infarction, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and coronary vasospasm. But it does not always mean it is related to acute heart condition or having a heart attack. Coders should focus on chest pain coding, among other areas, to prepare for ICD-10-CM. Chest pain is a common complaint and could be a symptom of serious conditions.
