Have had 4 heart cat over the pass 7 years. lifting ,bending, moving in a hurry all cause problems.It is difficult to determind weather to go to the hospital ot take more meds and go to bed.

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
