Suggest Remedy For Pain In Upper Chest And Back With Crystals Around The Heart

I have upper chest and back pain. I went to emergency and they checked my lungs and heart and everything is fine, some crystals around my heart and I will follow up with doctor but they said this awful pain is probably just a strain. What can I do to get rid of this paid? It gets worse and worse the more I move. What else can this be. I made an appointment with my regular doctor but can t get in until next Friday. Any suggestions?

Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for your query.
1. It is not clear that what your doctor meant by crystals around heart.
2. A pain which worsens by moving is not likely to be due to angina or heart attack.
3. Pain which worsens on movement can be due to muscle, bone or joint related problems. Pain arising from inflammation of coverings of heart and lungs causes such pains which changes with posture and respiration.
4. Re-consult your ER doctor and at least get a prescription of pain killers if it seems a local cause to them. It is not possible to make an exact diagnosis without an examination.
Sincerely
