what could cause burning pain in the chest and back pains
Heart conditions, such as angina, pericarditis, or heart attack, are common causes of a burning sensation in the chest. Other causes include pulmonary embolism (blockage in a blood vessel in the lungs) that reduces blood flow to the lungs and leads to chest burning and pain. Pleurisy (inflammation of the lining around the lungs) may also cause a burning sensation in the chest. Heartburn can lead to chest burning sensation, especially in severe cases, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Less often, chest burning is a symptom of asthma or anxiety attacks. It is also possible to experience chest burning as a result of rib fractures or any other trauma experienced in the chest area.
