Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having chronic, persistent chest pain. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more but better to rule out Pulmonary causes first for your chronic chest pain. Pulmonary diseases like pneumonia, tuberculosis, pleural effusion etc can cause similar symptoms. So get done chest x ray first. If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for these diseases. You are mostly having musculoskeletal pain. So avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected site. Don t worry, you will be alright. But first rule out Pulmonary causes by chest x ray. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
