What Causes Mild Pain In Chest?

Hello. I'm 22 years old and have recently been dealing with chest pain and discomfort. I've picked up on my exercise running about 6 miles a week. Last night was the first night to experiance chest pain while sitting. Moving made it worse and it was tender to the touch. It's only on my left side. Last night it lasted for about 3 1/2 hours. It just started again about 30 minutes ago. What does this sound like?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because your pain is associated with specific body position and 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 for few days.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
