What Does Chest, Back And Neck Pain Without Breathlessness Indicate?
I have achy chest and neck pain. I haven't done anything that would cause strain on those muscles. I have back and hip pain, too. but thought it was old age and wear and tear on the body?
I am 58 very active other than pain in my back from a protruding disc. The chest ache is only about 3 days long, I'm not short of breath.

Hi
You already have a protruding disc problem
The chestpain, neck can also be due to the radiation of pain from the cdisc problem due to the nerve compression as most ot these parts are supplied with a common nerve supply
Painkillers maybe of help, if it is not reduced please go for an ecg to rule out amy cardiac problems, as all cardiac problems do not present with shortness of breath.
Take care
