What Causes Increasing Chest Pains?

'm having a mild chest pain. When I stretch arm or bend down, the upper part of my right chest hurts. It pains at a specific point. This pain has been on and off for the past 1 or 2 months. But over the past 3 or 4 days, it has increased. What should I do?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain worsen with movements.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
2. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
3. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
4. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
