Abbie went to the hospital complaining of chest pain. Which terms describe the area that she could be referring to?

The chest region includes the pectoral area, over the chest muscles, and the sternal area, over the breastbone. Therefore, “pectoral and sternal” best describes where Abbie may be feeling pain. Lumbar refers to the lower back, and scapular refers to the shoulder-blade area.
