What Causes Pain In Chest Spreading Towards The Back?

I am 18. Ive been having sever chest pain on both sides under my breasts off and on for quite a while. sometimes the pain spreads all the way to my back. I have also been getting drowsy more frequently with body aches. I do go to a chiropractor, it helps with the back pain a little but the body aches and chest pains keep getting worse...

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bilateral chest pain spreading towards back is more likely due to musculoskeletal pain.
But better to get done ecg and chest x ray to rule out heart and lung diseases.
If ecg and chest x ray are normal then no need to worry for major diseases.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
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.
