What Causes Weird Chest Pain?

My wife has had her picc line in for three months now and every thing has been pretty normal with it until last week. She was vacuuming and felt an odd pain in her chest that has happened about once a day ever since. Is this something we should be concerned with?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for her chest pain.
So better to get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry for cardiac chest pain.
Musculoskeletal pain can be the cause for her pain due to exertion with vaccum.
So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your wife.
Thanks.
