Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Upper Back Area
Brief Answer:
Can be a muscle spasm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain that you have can be due to a wrong posture or a muscle spasm. Wrong posture or a sudden sharp movement can aggravate such a pain.
You need to take rest, avoid all painful movements, do a hot compress and have an oral muscle relaxant to get relief. Application of a local analgesic gel will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Cardiac cause not likely.

Thanks for writing again.
If there is no associated shortness of breath and sweating then a cardiac cause is not likely. You can take rest and see if the pain subsides. In case the pain aggravates or is persistent then do consult a cardiologist.
