Sometimes get squeezing pain on the left side of the chest which lasts for few seconds..then after an hour or so comes back again. Also from past 2 weeks i have pain on the left side of the ribcage that is i think the place surrounding the lungs..Applied ointment (volini) and have taken pain killer but still the pain is still there..On right side its a bit less.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. But better to first rule out heart diseases as it is left sided chest discomfort. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 4-5 days. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
