Pulled chest muscle
by BT409, Sep 21, 2008 02:57PM
Hi,
I was working out my chest about a week ago, but I did not hear anything pop or even any sudden pain. I left the gym with a very sharp pain when I take a deep breathe or I sneeze. The pain is right above my pec on the left side. I have been taking some painreliever and some muscle rub, but the pain still feels like I had just did this. Is there any suggestions on a faster healing process?

There can be many causes of pain in the chest- cardiac, gastrointestinal, trauma related, pulmonary, fracture ribs, etc.
Chest pain from a muscle strain or rib fracture can be caused by coughing.
You should consult your doctor for a complete physical examination to rule out any cardiac causes or in case you have fractured your ribs.
If however, you have suffered mild chest wall injury or muscle strain, you should consider taking rest, try application of ice and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication for relief from symptoms.
Take care!
