Have Had Squeezing Sensation Around Heart, Bone Pain, Sternum Muscle Strain And Back Pain. What Is Wrong?
Hello, I have had a Squeezing sensation around my heart for the past 3 days. I have also had pain in my sternum and back when I turn my neck to the left. I had gone to watch my cousins for the day and had been running around quite a bit, when I got home I went right to sleep and when I woke up I had the bone pain and later on in the day the squeezing feeling on my heart. My mother is a nurse and she said that it is most likely Sternum muscle strain, but i'm not too sure. I am a 19 year old male.

Hello, and welcome to HealthCareMagic.
It is common to get muscle strain after a vigorous activity like, in your case, running. The squeezing you referred to, can be due to mild muscular damage. Even though it may sound alarming, the fact is ur muscles get repaired automatically with a few days of rest. in order to help u get through with the pain, you are advised to take a pain killer like Tab Ibuprofen twice daily with meal. it may cause stomach pain, so you should also take Tab Risek 20 mg twice daily before meal.
If it doesnt help with the squeezing pain then you are advised to visit your nearest hospital for further evaluation.
Stay fit. Stay Healthy!
