What Causes Severe Pain In The Chest?
Hi, I have been suffering with acute chest pain for the last 48 hours. Just had important heart tests done and CPK was 141. I am a 60 year old lady. Had been with cold virus for the last 2 months. Today visited my cardiologist and both ECG and ECHO showed no problem. Chest pain so bad, unbearable. Went midnight for tests and results are: SGOT 26 CPK 141 CPK-MB 12 HSTroponin-I 1,1 I m worried as the pain is still there, took several extra panadol, 1 buscopan, but still feel the chest pain. Dr. suggested muscular pain, nothing wrong with heart. Should I worry for CPK level? Many THANKS

Hello,
Most probably it is due to musculoskeletal causes like costochondritis.
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
