What Is The Treatment For Chest Pain?

My husband had CPR compression performed on him for at least 40 minutes over a year ago. He is still complaining of chest pains, which he feels is caused from the CPR compressions. Is this possible? He just had a check up with his Cardiologist, and everything checks out fine.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, prolonged chest pain after CPR is seen.
No need to worry for heart related chest pain as his recent cardiologist check up was normal.
Possibility of costochondritis due to CPR is more likely in your his case .
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in costochondritis.
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 he will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
