Muscle in Chest pain

Muscle in Chest pain

Pain in Middle of Chest (like a pullling and sharp pain) from time to time for about 2 years now.  I had a Chest scan a couple years ago and they saw nothing and assumed a pulled muscle.  I thought pulled muscles heal.  If pain is not shooting through it all I have to do is press down on area and can feel pain.  Anything other than Ibuprofen for a suggestion for a cure?  Thanks.

Hello!

Chest pain can be a burning type of pain when you would need to treat yourself with antacids and acid reducing medications because of acidity.

If you have a pulling type of pain it is muscular or tendon or ligament related. I would suggest you to go for an MRI and also to rule out any chronic problem in your ribs and also in your chest cavity involving the musculature, lungs or heart.

Only after a proper diagnosis you can get relief from this. Follow up with a chest specialist and an orthopedician.

Take care!
