Question
The patient is a 71-year-old female. She has been in good health until three days ago when she suddenly experienced left chest pain. The plaster did not alleviate the pain. Which department should she consult, and what could be the cause of the illness?
Answer
This is most likely due to heart disease, but it does not exclude respiratory system disorders and trauma as possible causes. I recommend that you first make an appointment with the cardiology department or the general internal medicine department. It is important to stay calm, pay attention to warmth, and avoid catching a cold. It could also be caused by sprains. Maintain a relaxed mood and wait for the test results before proceeding with treatment.
