Question: Hi, i have pain in my chest exactly in the middle. It mostly happens when i try to flex my chest and move my shoulders backwatds.
Brief Answer:
It seems to be a muscle pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms are due to muscular pain.
I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an Orthopedic surgeon.
You can take a painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg.
If pain persists, you can add a muscle relaxant like Chloroxazone.
Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel locally will be helpful.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
