Is Sudden Upper Middle Chest Pain In The Morning Related To A Cardiac Issue?
Question: Hi this is for Dr Sharka .. I was sleeping this morning and as I woke up I moved and got upper middle strum pain... no shortness of breath other than me panic my blood pressure was last taken on August 13 it was good no neasea no dizziness ... should I be concerned this is cardiac ?
Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to the heart.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As a cardiologist, I would exclude any possible cardiac issues, related to your symptoms.
The fact that the chest pain was triggered by body movement, is a strong argument in favor of a musculoskeletal pain.
So, I would conclude that the pain is probably related to the costochondritis.
For this reason, I would just recommend taking Tylenol and try to relax.
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need! Wishing all the best.
