Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases for your chest pain.
So first get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes, musculoskeletal pain can cause similar kind of symptoms.
So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
