What Causes Pain In Chest, Tender Chest Bone And Heart Palpitations?
Hello, The flu can increase the heartbeat as flu is one of the viral infection. Chest pain also can occur as a constitutional symptom. For your pain, you need to be given paracetamol sos and for flu, a decongestant can be prescribed like levocetirizine. However, I suggest investigating with chest X-ray as well to exclude any possibility of respiratory cause. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
