Is there any possible way that i could get rid of this without any pain? and yes i have been to the doctor and she said im perfectly healthy so i dont know what the hell is wrong with me.. pleasee helppp !!
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your doctor is denying any serious illness for your chest pain, no need to worry about major heart or lung related diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid movements causing pain. 3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 5 - 7 days. If not improving in 1 week then get done chest x-ray to rule out internal lung pathology. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
