Referred pain
Explanation:
Injury to visceral structures can present as vague pain in a distant area.
Example during myocardial infarction, the brain perceives pain in nerves T1-T5 which innervates the myocardium, so aside from chest pain, someone who’s going to heart attack also feels pain to jaw, left arm, and left shoulder which are also innervated by nerve fibers from spinal nerve T1-T5
