Why Am I Feeling Pressure In The Upper Left Side Of Spine?
I woke up this morning everything fine. Then it felt like someone punched on the upper left side of my back clost to the spine but spine is not hurt. Ive wated for about oh 6 hours now and the feeling is still there. If I sit and dont move it does not bother me but the pain is dull. Now I feel like I am having a little pressure in chest like the breast bone but its very very small. Perhaps the front pain is just comming from a little anxiety about back. Who knows.

Hello,
If you are not having high blood pressure, diabetes then there is little to worry. In that case, this can be either a sprain or a strain at back. This can be due to excessive work, abnormal position at work or during sleep. You should do following to have relief in this:
1. Apply an analgesic ointment at least 3 times a day
2. Do warm fomentation over affected area
3. Take a good analgesic like paracetamol or aceclofenac 100mg
4. If possible take rest
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
