What To Do For Chest Pain And Feeling Heavy Ribs?

I have been getting a chest pain. Feels like my bra is too tight. I ve had a check up at the hospital (yesterday) and they said it wasn t a heart attack - the pain had gone by the time I was seen! I woke up with the pain this morning.- it feels like my ribs are very heavy but no pain in the central area. Any ideas.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and question.
Since your cardiac workup is normal, no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
In my opinion your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal cause because of tight inner wear.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid too much tight inner wear.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting.
4. Avoid bad postures in sleep and movements causing pain.
5. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
6. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
