Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain With Cold Sweats
18 hour flight from Rome to Seattle in coach. After flight, developed periodic left chest pain - comes and goes. Applying pressure helps relieve the symptoms. It is about 2,3 out of 10 and some cold sweats. 3 days later and still an issue. What should I do?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM.
Noted you have done 18 hour journey ...
Have you common cold ?? Running nose??
Headache??? Etc. I want to rule out first viral cold or flu as it can lead chest discomfort.
Symptomatic management done with benadryl like decongestent....
Here you also can have unaccoustemed sleep posture or muscular strain that can lead chest pain...rest and analgesic needed.
See you are telling pain with sweating...
So dear if it is constricting pain then ischemic heart disease rule out by ECG or echo cardiography.
Hope your concern solved.
You can contact HCM with ECG report if it is notable.
