What Causes Chest Pain?

Hi,

Yesterday evening I got a pain in my chest. More to the left. I thought maybe it was a pulled muscle but I haven't done anything strenous or lifted any heavy objects. I can feel a large lump on my collar bone. It hurts to move in certain ways. Any idea what this could be?



Thanks,

Sarah

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Facing your current clinical scenario, I would strongly recommend performing a medical check up by your internist (GP), to investigate the reason of your neck lump (a lymph node, a lipoma, abscess, any other inflammatory process, etc.) and a possible association with that left sided chest pain.

A careful physical exam, chest X ray, ultrasound of that lump mass, and possibly a biopsy may be necessary for the differential diagnosis.

In addition, an ECG, complete blood count, PCR, etc.will be helpful.

Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
