What Causes Muscle Cramping Sensation In Chest?

I occasionally am having a muscle cramping sensation deep in my chest slightly left of my sternum, it can last from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes and then subsides. It seams to occur when I squeeze an object together with both hands. basically when I m using my peck muscles putting something together. I am 45 years old, don t smoke and am a normal weight. What do you think?

Hi welcome to HCM
Symptoms in your case are suggestive muscular strain.APOLLO do not worry.Get investigations like Complete blood picture,chest x ray,ECG,2D Echo ,CPK MB,serum electrolytes,lipid profile as a part of routine screening.Meanwhile take drugs like Antacids and Analgesics for 10 - 20 days.Also monitor your blood pressure,heart rate,blood sugars regularly.Exercise regularly for 30 minutes and drink 3 to 4 litres of water.Take fruits like apple and pomegranate daily. If your blood pressure high you should start using anti hypertensive medication and lipid lowering drugs by speaking to your doctor.Avoid stress and anxiety.Breathing exercises and music therapy may be helpful.Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
