What Could Be The Reason For Having Pain In My Chest And Shoulder Blades?

I have pain in my chest that feels like there's bruising. I also have a pain between my shoulder blades. Neither pain is severe....just a bit uncomfortable. The pain in the chest hurts more in certain positions. It's in my upper chest, a bit above my breasts....in the middle but somewhat towards the left side. My history has been low blood pressure but about a month ago I had very high blood pressure (went up to 200/122) and now with a combination of medication and herbs it's not much over normal. A day or two after I got the high blood pressure I also had severe pain in the left back side of my head. That lasted a few days and slowly went away. Thank you!

Hi,
It could be due to muscle strain and spasm. I suggest you to do following-
Avoid any activity that aggravate the pain.
Do hot fomentation to relieve the spasm.
apply muscle relaxant gel to the area.
You can take anti inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to relieve the pain and inflammation.Avoid weight lifting. Give proper time to heal.
