Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Upper Back , Shoulder And Chest
I woke up with pain in my upper back - between the shoulder blades - and in my chest. The pain is worse when i turn my torso or neck. it feels best when i am sitting up in bed on one of my sides. my back pain worsens when i lay flat on my back. i usually sleep about 6-7 hours a night, but last night i slept for 9 and woke up much later than i usually do (at 1:30pm rather than 7:30-8am). im a 25 year old female, nonsmoker, irregularly exercise, eat relatively healthy. Ive had a history of mild GERD, and stopped taking birth control pills last week because it was causing my resting heart rate to increase. Any idea what is causing this pain?
You could be having muscle spasms. Hey an Xray of the spine in that region. Apply hot packs. Take pain killers for 5 days. Avoid turning to side and lifting weights. Consult your Orthopaedic surgeon.
