Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sudden onset chest and back pain in young patient is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain, stress and anxiety. But better to get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. If these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Start calcium and vitamin D 3 supplements. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol if pain is unbearable.Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
