I have pulsating pain in my left chest, almost in the center. The pain has been there for last 5-6 years off and on. It aggravates when I touch at the point of pain, during deep breathing, while indulging in stretching exercises and also when I sleep on my left side. I suspect it to be costochondritis. If it is so, is there any permanent remedy to that? Please help me.
Here first take ibuprofen for week... Hot pad can be applied.... Avoid movement that cause pain.... Strenous work not done. Heavy weight lift restricted.... Proper sleep posture.... If needed physiotherapy might helpful.... Compression bandage also helpful.
If pain still there myositis or muscle tear has to be rule out..
If pain radiating then better to investigate with echo or ecg for rule out cardiac cause.
Take care.
