Suggest Remedy For Persistent Chest Pain

I m having chest pain, and have for three days now. Sometimes it hurts more than other times, and sometimes it feels like it s in my lungs. I don t have any pain around my heart and I don t think I should be worried about a heart attack but I don t know. I need help, I m worried.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
But better to rule out heart diseases first because persistent chest pain is common symptom in heart diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Musculoskeletal pain can cause similar symptom due to Intermittent muscle spasm.
So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Avoid bad postures in sleep.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
