i am 54 female no heart problems that i know of ... i have muscular dystrophy FSH type ... it weakens my muscles and it is easy to pull a muscle.. i use a walker and a motorized wheel chair... but the walker hurts my arms so i use the wheel chair more now than ever.... i have chest pain just under and around my left brest ... it is a dull pain... not sharp ... doesnt get better doesnt go away... for past 4 hours or so... no other symptoms except the normal aches and pains... back and legs mostly ... shoulders and knees....but that is another story.... do i need to go to the doc or is it just another muscle strain...  i am disabled and i cant afford a doctor for nothing ... or i would be there every day ... i have had chest pains before but they usually go away in seconds... and they are sharp... coughing helps ... but not today ..
Hi, Possible a muscle pull or stretch most likely. Local application of heating pad, analgesic spray or ointment with anti-inflammatory medicines as Diclofenac or Ibuprofen will help out the issue for sure. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
