What Causes Chest Pains And Breathing Difficulty?
Hi... i have been having chest pains for a few weeks now, my cardiologist said that it is not my heart to just take pain meds and pretty much deal with the pain, the problem is that the pain is intense at night when I lay down. Sometimes it hurts to breath. I do not know what to do and I do not want to take pain meds all day everyday.

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.
Noted chest pain for few week.
If severe muscular strain occur by lifting heavy object or heavy exercise then pain can persist for long time ...
Rest is needed for it...
Brufen like drug needed....
If still need compression bandage can be applied if need.
If your ribs tender to touch it could be simple costochondritis which resolve with the time....
If cough or fever present then respiratory cause rule out by physical examination , chest x ray or spirometry....
Take care.....
