What Causes Pain In My Chest?

Hi Doctor. I am a 25-year-old male, 5'11", 130lbs. For about a week now, I've had pain in my chest, just to the left of my sternum. The pain disappears during the day, and only comes in the evening and at night. I have no difficulty breathing and no other apparent symptoms.

Hi I can understand your concern...

Noted you have only mild chest pain at evening....

During routine hours you might busy in working so pain not noticed....

You have simple musculoskeletal pain ...
Here are advise.......

Rest done...
If need take brufen...
Apply slight hot compress over chest ....
Avoid movement causing pain..
Avoid heavy weight lift....
Proper sleep posture....

If ribs tender to touch costochondritis can there...Treatment same as above....

If you have common cold viral flu then pain can occur as constitutional symptom...

Take care...

If still no improvement we will do further work up....
