Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just started smelling odd odors. My chest had s few sharp pains that lasted about 3 minutes. It subsides and reoccurs randomly. I m at complete rest, reading a book all day. I sort of scared myself into thinking it has something to do with my heart; although, I don t have a family history with heart ailments.
You can go for an ECG to rule out any cardiac causes. Most probably it is due to condition like costochondritis or simple muscular pain. Once the cardiac causes has been ruled out, you can take analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac for pain relief. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussai
