What Causes Pain Is In The Centre Of My Chest?
Question: When I bend my head down towards my chest I feel chest pain. It only occurs occasionally. I am currently taking meds for HBP. The pain is right in the center of my chest.
Brief Answer:
Muscular-skeletal, gastric pain, further tests are needed
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concern.
The pain you feel might be due to :
- muscular-skeletal
- stomach issues
If I was your caring doctor would advise to run further diagnostic tests :
- ECG, cardiac echo, stress tests to rule out heart problems
- upper endoscopy to rule out stomach issues
- abdominal ultrasound
For the moment, I advise to take otc pain killers until you get the tests done.
All the best !
