Suggest Medications For Chest Pain

I have been having chest pains for a while now, not exactly sure how long. A few weks at least. They re kind of in the center and a separate pain in my ribs. Sometimes it gets so bad that I can t move. I was told it s probably just heartburn but anti acids don t help

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, it is not heart burns related pain.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more because it is associated with movements.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
3. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
4. Sit with proper beck support.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
6. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
