I had previously experienced my chest pop when I stretched after staying in the same position for a long time(doing coursework)however recently, when sleeping, I have a sensation that my chest would pop if I stretch but it didn t pop and only hurt and the uncomfortable pain doesn t fade away. The pain is not terrible but it feels like there is something stuck in my chest and it feels uncomfortable. I m 17 years old and this is the first time the pain lasted for long time. I don t know what the problem is and i m worried that this could lead to serious problem. Please help.
Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion it is muscular pain only due to stretching. But as a rule in chest pain, we need to rule out cardiac cause first. So please get done ECG. If it is normal than it must be muscular pain only. Try to follow these for muscular pain. 1. Avoid strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid heavy weight lifting. 3. Avoid bad postures in bed. 4. Take pain killers and muscle relaxant. 5. Apply warm water to the affected site.
