[|Human|] Can symptoms of heart problems and COPD be similar? I went to the ER with chest pain that was accompanied by high blood pressure (which I had never had before) and pain in my left arm and jaw. They kept me overnight and did a stress test in the morning. They say my heart looks fine and have me scheduled for a pulmonary function test next week.
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that sometimes pulmonary disorder may mimic this clinical situation, especially pulmonary embolism. Anyway, I agree with your doctor on recommending the performance of pulmonary function tests. A ventilation perfusion pulmonary Antioch scan and D-Dimmer levels may be needed. If the chest pain is triggered by body movements, you should consider musculoskeletal pain as a possible cause of the chest pain too. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,
