I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your migrating stinging pain seems very likely to be caused by an extracardiac origin involvement, such as musculoskeletal inflammation, chest wall structures implication, pleural inflammation.
A careful physical exam by your attending doctor and some lab & medical tests, like:
- complete blood count,
- PCR,
- ESR,
- chest X ray study,
- CPK,
- LDH
would give valuable clues about the responsible cause, such as pleural friction rubs, costochondritis, shingles, etc.
Any pain killer drugs such as Naproxen, Diclofenac, Ibuprofen, etc. could be beneficial at relieving the pain.
You need to discuss with your attending physician (internist or GP) on the above mentioned issues.
In case of any further uncertainties, do not hesitate to ask me again.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
