What Causes Chest And Back Pain?
For the past month or so I have noticed that I get very bad chest pains when I lay down in weird angels or if something is pressed on my chest. My girlfriend likes to sleep on my chest and even that slight pressure hurts like hell. Im 16 and im not sure what is wrong with me. My back also tends to hurt a lot and im not sure why. I have told my doctor about this and he said its probably just my muscles. Any advice/ideas?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it is muscular pain only.
But weneed to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause. If this is normal than you might have muscular pain only.
Try to follow these for relief.
1. Avoid strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid heavy weight lifting.
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
4. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad to the affected area.
