What Are The Reasons For Pain In Chest And Back Which Worsens After Movement?

I have been having pain in my chest and back all day. I think that the pain is related to sleeping in a funny position last night, but just want to be sure it s not heart related. The pain worsens with movement, and I can feel it quite acutely when I swallow food, and also when I burp. \

Hello,

As per your history and description, the possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is associated with movements.

So follow the below steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain:
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain.
3. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest and back.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
5. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like Ibuprofen and Thiocolchicoside.

You will mostly improve with all these in 2 to 3 days. If not improving then consult the doctor for ECG and 2d echo tests to rule out heart diseases.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
