Suggest Treatment For Chest And Back Pain
Good morning. I'm a 43 yr old female who is obese. I have been having some pain in my chest and back but it feels a lot like it is bone pain. Its hard to describe. Anyway, I am a CMA and did an EKG on myself this morning. It said Sinus Rhythm and Horizontal Axis for age - BORDERLINE. what does that mean?

Hi thanks for the query.
From the complaints you had described i would like you EKG reports to be seen by cardiologist once. If the cardiologist rules out cardiac problem. the pain you had described could be due to irritation of muscles in the chest and back. Initially i would suggest simple stretches to the upper back with application local antiinflammatory gels. If the pain is not relieved better consult your local orthopedician.
thanking you
