Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain
Hi i am an 18 year old female, 5 feet five inches tall, weighing about 154 pounds. I have had chest pain for five months. Went to the doctor a couple times and had on EKG done, everything was normal and she said that it was costochoncodritis. But it never went away. Now it also hurts my back if i sit in one position for too long. One other thing I should mention... before the chest pains started happening i had a foot infection and then my entire left leg went numb for a bit during class one day. I don't know what it is and am really worried that it might be something serious

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Here you have chronic chest pain complaint ...
Your EKG normal , so cardiac cause seems less likely ....
It could be musculoskeletal pain or costochondritis as pain while sleeping and long term....
Ibuprofen tablet can be taken for that ...
Avoud movement that causing pain....
Take proper sleep posture ....
Avoid strenous work ....
Your physical examination should be done along with auscultation ....
Here if needed chest x ray done to rule out cardiac cause.
Take care ..
Advise : physician consultation.
