What Could Muscle Shrinking Kind Of Pain In Chest Indicate?

I had a muscle shrinking kind of pain over my chest . I feared it would be something with my heart since i had undergone more stress recently.But check up revealed my heart/heart valves function perfect. Treadmill Test passed borderline.I had bad cholesterol of 5.5 as against the normal of 4.So i was given Ecospirin by cardiologist. But after a week now i still have the same muscle shrinking feel over my chest and my heart beats normal. What should be the problem. will it be a gastric problem ? or a heart one ?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for heart diseases as your heart functions and valves are normal.
Possibility of acute gastritis is more likely.
Ecosprin can also cause gastritis.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily.
2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
4. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
5. Go for walking after meals.
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.
