Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic HCM. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

This pain has been there for so long and looks like to be of a muscular origin as it gets worse on certain movements.
Apply Voltaren gel (and gently massage over the area) and take Ibuprofen by mouth.
Apply ThermaCare HeatWraps around the painful area of the chest.

Go for CBC with ESR and Differentials blood test and also a chest X Ray to rule out any lung disease.

Do you smoke??
Do you drink alcohol?
Do you have cough, shortness of breath?
These are the questions to rule out the cause of the symptoms you have.

Hope I answered all of your questions. Please don't forget to add your precious positive feedback to help me able to assist you better in future too. Have a wonderful time ahead. Keep in touch for a follow-up too to let me know if you have any doubts & need further assistance. I am available 24/7 for your help. Have a blessed time ahead.
