Possibility Of A Muscle Pull At The Center Of Chest Causing Pain
I have a dull pressure pain in center of chest when I lay down, no matter if I'm on my side or front/back. Its just a dull ache. I did have what I thought was a pulled muscle in my chest last week but now its in the center of my chest. When I sit up it feels ok.

thanks for asking your question
i completely understand your question
actually pain in the centre of chest can be due to a muscle pull , lung diseases ,cardiac diseases , or diseases of stomach.
for now take an analgesic and proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole after consulting a pulmonologist .
he can also request for a chest xray and an ecg to rule out any other disease causing chest pain
thanks / regards
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless you with good health
