Hi there, i have recently been diagnosed with chlamydia in the downstairs reigon... when i was being consulted the specialist asked me if i had any chest pain, in which case at the time i didnt, however, i have now taken the medication but a slight pain has arrived to the top/center of the reigon around my heart?Is there any link between this or is it just diet/excersise choice etc?I am a 22yo male, active but smoke around a pack of 20 ciggarettes every two days. 6\"5 and around 100kgs??
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chlamydia infection can cause pneumonia (lung infection). And this pneumonia can cause pleuritic chest pain. This is the reason why doctor asked you about chest pain. Since you are a active smoker, you are at risk of lung infection (pneumonia). So in my opinion, you should definitely get done chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia as a cause for your chest pain. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about pneumonia. This chest pain can be due to simple musculoskeletal pain. In any case, it is better to quit smoking as soon as possible. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
