Could Pain In Back, Shoulder And Chest Be Due To Sore Muscles?
I have pain in my back and shoulder areas and in my chest/armpit area. I carry my 6 month old often and I m wondering if sore muscles could be causing the pain in my Chest area. I m only 29 and have no history of heart disease in my family but do have anxiety.

Hello,
In our cases both factors can play a role:
1. Lifting your child
2. Anxiety.
It is good that you are not having any family history of heart disease or not having any blood pressure or diabetes. This allays your fear of having cardiac issues.Your problem can be due to anxiety which can be reason to put strain on your muscles.
I shall advise you following to have relief:
- Keep yourself busy in some extra curricular activities or other constructive work. You may read,listen music or do some recreational activity
- Do yoga and meditation
- Take a mild analgesic like advil for relief from soreness
- Take a proper care of yourself. If you are a breast feeding mother then take adequate supplements of calcium and iron
- Do warm water fomentation at back and shoulder with water bag
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
