Suffering From Chest Pain. Hurting While I Swallow Food. Sign Of A Pulled Chest Muscle?
I am a roofer and I think i pulled my chest muscles yesterday. I started getting pain throughout the night while I was sleeping, the pain is between my shoulders right in the middle of my back, this morning while In was eating breakfast I noticed it hurt evertime I tried to swallow food, and it also hurts to burp. Is this a sign of a pulled chest muscle?
Could be a sprain on over stretching. Take Ibuprofen 400 mg thrice a day after meals, along with methacarbamol 750 mg and do massage with relaxyl ointment locally.
Avoid bending and lifting weights and do nos any one to do manipulations with the neck or back. Complete rest and medicines will subside it in 3-5 days. Stay off work for 3 days
