I have pain in my chest, right hand side and in my back below my shoulder. It is not acute, but uncomfortable. I have had this pain on and off for the last couple of weeks, more when I am resting and getting ready to sleep. Today it has been more constant. Is it anything to worry about?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, your discomfort is mostly suggestive of musculoskeletal. But better to get done chest x-ray to rule out internal pathology. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry much. Your discomfort is musculoskeletal only. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting. 2. Avoid strenuous exercise. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Avoid painful movements. 5. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. 6. Apply warm water pad on affected site. Don't worry, you will be alright. Wish you good health. Thanks.
