Suggest Treatment For Discomfort In The Back And Chest When I Breathe

I am having some discomfort in my upper/middle back, and chest when I breathe in. A little bit of tightness in the throat as well. I was moving some furniture over the weekend and thought maybe I pulled something but now I don t know. I am 48, female, smoker, diabetic, high blood pressure as well. All those things have been doing well and under control. This pain happened this weekend and continues. Thoughts?

Hello,

By your history and description, the possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
-So apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest and back.
-Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
-Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest and back.
-Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
-Don't worry you will be alright with all these.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
