Pulmonologist,  's  Response
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.
