What Causes Chest Pain Similar To Precordial Catch Syndrome?

I am 36 and I have a pain that is exactly like Precordial Catch Syndrome (PCS) except I've had it over 3 hours & I can't seem to make it pop. What could be causing this? Currently I am suffering from a herpes outbreak as well as a lower back injury in case that helps with potential causes. Thank you!

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Possibility of post herpetic neuralgia is more.
It is common after herpes infection.
It is due to hypersensitivity of nerves in the affected area.
Best treatment of this kind of neuralgia is pregabalin and vitamin b 12 combination.
Application of cold ice bag is also useful.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright with above mentioned drugs.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
