What Causes Sharp Pain In Chest At Night?
Chest pain,
I am 31 years old, male , about 100kg.
I discovered a sharp pain in my chest and don't know what is the caused, though have been abit worried during the period because of my exam that was a bit bad, and also i do sit on the floor and my laptop on a chair. I checked the possible cause of chest pain and i quickly buy aspirin over the counter, and the following day i went for EKG test and the test was good. I took the aspirin for 5 days and i was asked to stop. I don't feel pain when i touch my chest now but at night i do feel the pain and my inside body is not as it used to be yet. Please i need an answer.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to take aspirin as your ecg is normal. Normal ecg rules out cardiac chest pain.
In my opinion, you are mostly having musculoskeletal pain.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
