1. As symptoms are recurrent, it is wise to consult a chest specialist since they are still persisting and as chest pain is related to the chest wall, the following should be the symptomwise approach:
i .Think of fracture rib, new or old.
ii. Think of
costochondritis, very common anteriorly
iii. Think of muscle sprain
PS. One may
consult a Cardiologist to exclude
precordial catch syndrome. [PCS] which is a nonserious condition affecting the left side of the anterior chest wall and/or
pericarditis.
2. If by adopting
- hot water fomentation
- rest with minimal movements
- chest strapping
- intercostal nerve block
- taking an analgesic, anti-inflammatory enzymes, and
muscle relaxant, the pain goes away continue with the same, however, if the pain is not relieved to ask for Hb%, WBC, ESR & X-ray Chest [pain could be a pleural pathology to exclude pleuritis, pleural effusion]
3. Other common causes to exclude is/are digestive issues [excess gas, gastritis], stress
PS. Although most of the times, pain may be the result of minor injury or postural changes, however sometimes there may be an underlying medical condition/situation which needs appropriate treatment.
