I have been having pain in my chest and back for the last 7 hours. It happens when I breath in deeply and in certain positions. It is only on the left side. It is not generalized pain. The pains are sharp. I plan to go to the walk in clinic in the morning. Can this wait until then.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So you can wait till morning. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Avoid movements causing pain. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Get done ECG in the morning to rule out heart diseases. If ECG is normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
