Suggest Treatment For Sharp Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath

Hello doctor. I am 19 years old, female. I had chest pain 5 days ago and went to the ER. I did 2 ECG, blood test and xray all came back normal. The dr said it was due to muscle pull and sent me home despite having a fever 38.1°C with pain medication as well as antibiotics. (No idea why I was given antibiotics) 2 days later, I still had chest discomfort and went to a clinic near my home. I did an ECG, it was normal. I was given nebulizer but I didn t feel any better. The dr wrote a letter and asked me to bring it to the ER. The next day, I went to the ER again and they did another ECG and it was normal. They sent me home again, saying it was muscle pull. I had episodes of sharp pain in my left chest internally few months ago that made me stop whatever I am doing until it goes away. I didn t see the dr because it only lasted awhile I don t know if it is heart related but I really hope it s not. I don t know what to so now please advice.... The chest pain I had 5 days ago is in my centre chest and it feels like there s a pressure and I had a little difficulty breathing as well. Please advice, thank you.

Pulmonologist 's  Response
thanks for your question
I completely understand your question
chest pain can due to variety of reasons like heart related , lung related , pleura related , or just gastritis, or a peptic ulcer or it can be due to a simple muscle pull.
you need to visit a pulmonologist who can get a chest xray and rule out any lung or pleural cause as catchy pain which increases on inspiration happens in pleural effusions.
commonly people have neuralgias, or neural pains in chest which can be treated by methylcobalamine and other multivitamins and an analgesics
you need to visit a pulmonologist who can take a good history and do the examination and will lead you to a diagnosis accordingly
no need to panic
thanks
