Suggest Treatment For Severe Chest Pain

I am a 37 year old female. This morning I started with a chest pain on the upper left side. It is a constant hurt but more intense when I move, talk till give out of breath, bending over, turning head to left or right. This has been going on for several hours now. What could it be?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, your upper left sided chest pain is mostly due to muscular cause but better to rule out cardiac cause first.
So get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry for cardiac cause.
Muscular pain appears more in your case.
So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise.
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Also avoid movements causing pain.
4. Start pain killer and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
