Could Chest Pain, Back Pain And Pain In Ribs Be Caused By Pulling A Muscle?
on wednesday night started gettin a pain in my chest went into my sides and then my back hurt to breathe in now the pain is just in my right side under my ribs i feel fine in myself but worrying about it breathing ok now too been lifting abit wednesday day time thought id pulled a muscle
chest tightness/pain and involvement of the arms, back and sides are definitive features of impending heart attack you should absolutely get a ct angiography, if not a full angiography till you get to that, a dobutamine stress echo, lipid profile ,and fbs ppbs should be tested too
having said that the alternative options you might have are cervical spondylosis, severe gastritis undiagnosed diabetes pulled muscle
a chest x ray, vitamin D levels should also be done to help at least evaluate initially the other causes
but i think you should rule out the coronary disease urgently the rest can wait
best of luck
