What Causes Sharp Pain In The Upper Back And Chest?

I ve been experiencing very sharp pain in my upper back that goes through to my chest. It feels like someone kicking me really hard. It eventually eases ands goes away, but it comes suddenly and unexpectedly especially if I bend forward at the waist.

Hi,

It can be a musculoskeletal pain due to spasm or muscle pull.

You can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol along with muscle relaxant like Baclofen.

If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
