Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. As a emergency care, I will first auscultate the lungs to look for breath sounds and air entry. Secondly I will get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection and pleural effusion because these can cause chest pain. If chest x ray and auscultation are normal then possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. And this can be associated with spondylitis. So patient needs painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
