What Causes Stinging Pain In Chest And Muscle Pain?

I have a stinging pain in my chest. I think it's a muscle pull, but I don't have some of the other symptoms I've read about. I'm female 46 years old. No history of heart problems. I'm overweight but not obese. I'm active, bp is ok, cholesterol as well.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cardiac chest pain can present with normal blood pressure and cholesterol.
You are having perimenopausal age and having obesity also. So you are at risk of heart diseases.
So we should first rule out heart diseases for your symptoms.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Do these things for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Take painkiller like ibuprofen. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
