What Does An Intermittent Chest Pain Indicate?

I m 18 year old male i have some chest pain that come and go. I feel a sharp pain when I m leaning down for a long period of time I went to the emergency room and the doctors did blood tests and chest x-Ray and said everything was normal. I still feel the pain on the left side sometimes.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to costochondritis. Pain while palpation on the rib area is characteristic for this. For such condition if you were my patient then i would treat with local anti inflammatory gels like ketoprofen. If pain is more then I advise oral tablets of ketoprofen also. If that is also not helping then i would recommend local injection of corticosteroids or anesthetic.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
