Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain.
But since it is left sided pain, better to first rule out heart diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Due to improper sleeping position in night shift, you have developed this pain.. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
2. Avoid movements causing pain.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
6. Sit with proper back support.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
