Having a pain, heaviness or discomfort in & around your chest can be scary. It does not always mean that you are having a heart problem. There can be many other causes, including 1. Other heart problems, such as angina Panic attacks 2. Digestive problems, such as heartburn or esophagus disorders 3. Sore muscles 4. Lung diseases, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, or pulmonary embolism 5. Costochondritis - an inflammation of joints in your chest Someof these problems can be serious. Get immediate medical care if you have chest pain that does not go away, crushing pain or pressure in the chest, or chest pain along with nausea, sweating, dizziness or shortness of breath. Treatment depends on the cause of the pain. To rule out cardiac issues. Get a ECG and 2D echocardiography done. If they are normal then get a TMT / stress echo done.. If they are also normal then you have nothing to worry from heart side Meanwhile take Tab. Flexon Mr twice a day for 5 days Cap.
