Hi. Doctor.I would like to know bout chest stiffness. I got it just 1 year ago and it happens not frequently and caused nothing annoyrf except a strange sensation in the upper chest, like a stickiness sensation.  dont think it gets any relation with the heart like Angina Pectoris nor Stomach ache. I can feel this stiffness some hours a day (disapeared then repeated again and again within the day) and the more time goes, the longer time it last (i.e.. last 3 months it happened shorter than this month). How do you tink ?. What will be the problem these symptons may represent for ?.Thanks.
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor... Here you have mild chest discomfort since long duration .... No other symptoms present, so it could be muscular stiffness or muscle strain problem..... Simple analgesic will be useful... Avoid strenuous work...and sleep in supine position... Although chances are less to investigate your case with ....1. Blood pressure measurement and auscultation2.chest x-ray 3.ECG This preliminary work up will be useful for detection of any cardiac or resp causes if present ... Take care Advise
