What Causes Pain In Left Upper Chest?

I am having pain in my left upper chest. My arm has been hurting too. I took Ibuprophen, Nepraxon didnt help much. Took Beyer's 80mg Aspirin..it went away but again it comes back. Today I did ECG and came out normal. May be it might be a chest infection but I have had flu shot this year. It is not pleurisy either. It doesn't hurt when I breath. It is just constant. Is it ok for me to take DROXYL-500? If yes, how many for how many days?

I suggest u to have one chest x ray and cbc report done just to rule out pneumonia though the possibility is very less according to ur symptoms... It seems ur pain is due to some muscular cause.. I advice u to take tab enzoflam or any goof muscle relaxant for twice a day for atleast 5-7 days... And apply topica diclofenac gel in the area of pain.. Tab.droxyl is an antibiotic for infection.. To be taken only if pneumonia suspected though there are better antibiotics than droxyl for pneumonia... Take care...
