What Causes Dull Pain In Chest?
Hi,
I am a 34 year old woman with unexplained chest pain. I have had several tests including a chest x-ray, EKG, stress test, echo, and ct of the chest. All test were normal. However, I am still having pain in my chest on the left side. I do have a Lap Band and experience heart burn at night. I am on meds for the acid reflux. What could be causing the dull pain in my chest?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Noted your all test comes normal...
So here two causes seems according to your history.....
-reffered pain from acid reflux or
-musculoskeletal pain....
Continue treatment for reflux with drug.
Head elevated while sleeping...
Avoud excess spicy and fatty food...
Chocolates, coffee avoided in excess.
Avoid heavy meal at night.
Second pain could be musculoskeletal.
Resolve by its own within few days.
Rest needed.
Hot pads can be applied....
Avoid heavy weight lift ...and strenous exercise ....
Take care.
