What Causes Pain And Heaviness In The Mid Chest?

My husband is having pain in the center of his chest. He says it feels heavy and his sinuses are blocked. My husband has a thyroid condition as well. What can I give him to help with this? All the cold medicine s say not to give to someone with this condition.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is more likely in your husband's case.
So tell him to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally.
2. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
3. Take levocetrizine and paracetamol combination twice daily for 5 days.
He will mostly improve with all these in 5 days. If not improving, consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
