Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read facts of your query and reviewed it in context to your query health issues.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.
Based on the facts of your query the reply of your query is-
YOur current health issues seem to be related to your pectoral muscles and ? intercostal muscles.Or it could be GERD with heart burn / or could be from Hepatitis, or could be teitz costo-chondritis or Viral Myalgia with muscle spasm.
With duration of just few days and muscle spasms for 10-15 secs occuring few times in an hour, it seems more of Musculoskeletal pain.
Though I don't know your age and built/ weight, I have opined on your complained facts.But I would suggest you to have physical check with Your Specialist Physician and get the ECG done.
Do's-
Get Hot fomentations,
Voltaren Gel locally
Tab Motrin and Tylenol- x 1 x 2 times a day for 5 days to controll the muscle sprain.
If no relief- Recheck with physician-doctor and Add PPI(proton pump inhibitors)- E-Pento-D-1 tab x 2 times a day x 2 -4 weeks.
Recheck with the physician to revise the treatment.
Your Physician- doctor would be doing all that is needed to treat your current health issues.
At the most You can think of Second opinion of Cardiologist to check if you are being treated on right lines.
Constant followup with local family or specialist Physician-for long term would give you long remissions in time to come,which would depend on meticulous followup treatment of your health concerns.
Just don't worry and be patient and co-operate with your doctors,till you verify with your attending doctors.Need to Check with Consulting Physician if things don't recover.
For early recovery-please follow above do's which would resolve your complex health issues.
Hope this would help you to treat your health issues in the best way possible.
