Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am no taking any medication currently. I was on Omeprazole as my doctor thought it was gastrointestinal related. Basically, my shoulders, pectorals and thoracic or cervical area have been bothering me daily since from 2 months. My doctor had me take an EKG in case it was heart related but it came out perfectly fine. That was before two months. The cardiologist said it is most likely a muscular or skeletal issue. Any thoughts. Please help.

Hi

welcome to icliniq.

This is like Sometimes muscular problems may cause pain in the chest and upper back. Repetitive use or overuse of multiple muscle groups, for example through activities such as rowing, can lead to aching pain in the chest, back, or chest wall. I would like to know more if you have any burning in chest, difficulty in breathing and your daily activities to conclude what is the exact problem. However it may be only muscle related or soft tissue that bothers depending upon our activity, as the EKG is normal you need not to worry about heart or pericardium issue. If your pectoralis minor or major is tight let me know so that i can suggest you for best treatment according to your condition. Simple for now you can take Advil (Aceclofenac with Paracetamol) for 3 days daily once after food. Do let me know about your daily routine, breathing issues or burning in chest if any, also in case if you got any time specific time that causes more pain. Thank you. Stay safe.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
