What Causes Pain In Back And Center Of Chest?

While I was exercising this morning I started getting a pain in my back by my left shoulder blade. Not horrible just annoying. When I take a deep breath I can also feel it in the front on the left near the center of my chest. Is this from pushups yesterday? That is the only thing I could think of.

Hi

Thanks for your query and Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr Akshay from Fortis Hospital, New Delhi.

It could just be due to muscular strain especially if it has started after intensive exercises.
So for initial 5-7 days, i would like to advise for :

- To avoid heavy exercising and other activities which are aggravating your pain
- Take a gentle anti inflammatory medication like Tab Ibuprofen or Tab paracetamol or any other medication which suits you
- Use an analgesic spray / fomentation if it helps you

Let me know in 7-10 days time how you are feeling otherwise few investigation might be needed for a diagnosis and further management.


Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.
You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.

Thanks & Regards
Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena
