Pain in left side chest

Asked for Male, 31 years

A few months ago, I had pain in my left side chest. I consulted a cardiologist just in case it was the heart problem. All the tests, including CT, treadmill, echo, 24-hours Holter returned negative. I was informed that it was likely being sports injury, possibly from chest exercises at the gym and nothing to worry about. This pain has been a kind of on and off and I wonder if there is any way to help my muscle to heal. Should I have this seen by a specialist?

Dear Patient,

It seems like you have a muscular spasm/pain. You can apply fastum gel three times a day on the affected area. A chest brace or belt can be worn for extra support during strenuous exercise. Take CAC-1000 once a day for a month. Have milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables. You can take ponstan forte when you have pain but do not use it a lot. If pain persists for over a month please see a specialist.
