Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic!
Your symptoms could be related to inflammation or a musculoskeletal pain.
This kind of pain is not typical of any cardiac issues.
For this reason, I would recommend trying Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen. If these drugs help relieve the pain, it would be in favor of the above possible causes.
If the pain persists, despite trying the above drugs, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X-ray study
- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- complete blood count, CRP, ESR for inflammation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful! Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Dr.Iliri
