Should I Be Worried Of Throbbing Pains In Upper Chest Below Collar Bone?

My husband has been complaining of throbbing full pains in his upper chest, right below his collarbone area. After exertion it is worse and seems to go up his neck and into his ears as well. Does this sound like a serious problem or will it go away in time?

Hello,

Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because it is throbbing type and worsening with exertion. So tell him to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest and shoulder.
3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside. Don't worry he will be alright with all these.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
