Im at my wits end, Ive had chest pains on and off for as ling as I can remember, every test Ive had has been clear, at the moment its on my left hand side, it comes and goes when it likes. Everytime I go to the doctor he tells me theres nothing to worry about however how can I stop worrying when it always seems to be there. Its been worse since I stopped smoking last year and decided to get healthy. When I walk with a back pack on my whole chest hurts
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since your chest pain is more when you lift bag pack, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Start calcium and vitamin D 3 supplements as deficiency of these can also cause vague chest pain.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.
