1. Jaw and neck pain

Chest pain isn’t the only discomfort associated with heart problems. Pain that radiates to the jaw and neck from the chest can signal a heart problem, such as: heart attackheart disease, or an irregular heartbeat.

“Jaw and neck pain can be a sign of a heart attack or reduced blood flow to the heart,” says Edo Paz, MD, a board-certified cardiologist at K Health.

“More typical heart attack symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and sweating. However, jaw or neck pain could indicate a heart problem, especially if the discomfort worsens when you exert yourself and stops when you rest.”

Bobbi Bogaev, MD, a cardiologist and medical director at Abiomed, gives the example of a recent patient who started experiencing jaw and neck pain while cycling. “After consulting a cardiologist, [pasien] was told that she had lesions in three of her heart vessels, including her left anterior descending artery, which is also known as the widowmaker,” explains Bogaev. This is a useful reminder not to ignore jaw or neck pain, and seek medical attention if you experience it.
