Any kind of discomfort or pain sensed in the right or left side of the chest is referred to as chest pain. There are several reasons that can trigger it.
Not all chest pains are related to the heart however many causes are not heart related .which cause you a chest pain related to a muscle spasm or catch and presented as if :
-tightness in the chest increased while taking breath in and out ,i mean by movement of the chest ,try to stop taking breath for a while does this pain persists if no and the pain is exaggerated with movement during breathing
- if not accompanied by any other symptom related to other cause such as ,rapid heart beat ,shortness of breath ,sweating ,fever ,heart burn ,sudden wake from sleep ,the pain doesn't radiates to the arm or jaw or shoulder or any other place
-if it is fixed in intensity all the time ,and not increasing
-if it is relieved by ibuprofen and panadol
Then it might be a muscle catch or spam due to AC (cold air power that affects your chest muscle being warm )or high muscular activity or overuse of the muscle or poor posture meaning that you stay in a position for a period of time so that the muscle catches or you used to sleep on your left side
Since your EKG and Xray are normal and you are assumed to be seen by a cardiologist or pulmonologist and if there is no symptoms related to heart or lungs then ,then no possible heart attack but still normal EKG and Normal chest ray you may have still a possibility of heart pain which is an angina which can be normal on these ,
so if you have heart related symptoms beside this pain you may have other than EKG and the chest xray ,a stress test and a the doctor may recommend coronary angiography or CT forthe arteries if he suspects or suspected you have a chronic heart disease .
some other causes includes :
>acid reflux, heartburn or gas can lead to a left-side chest pain.
>The gases formed inside the intestines and stomach give an upward thrust to the chest wall. This can, in turn, give rise to a condition of breathlessness, tightness or pain in the chest-which is similar to cardiac pain.
>Some people may experience pain in the left side of the chest under the influence of excessive mental stress or physical exertion. In these conditions, the heart needs more blood to sustain the heartbeat. As a result, symptoms like intense chest pain, breathlessness and sweating arise. The intensity of the symptoms decrease with time, but they tend to recur.
Sometimes, an abdominal pain is mistaken with chest pain. If there is pain, the first thing that needs to be identified is whether the pain is oriented locally or centrally. In some cases, it has been observed that when gas problems turn severe, an acute form of stomach pain is experienced by the patient. In these cases, the patient fails to determine whether the origin of the pain is the chest or the abdomen.
Pain that lasts for a long period of time or is noticeably localized to one area is probably not a heart attack, but may still require medical attention if you have injured yourself.
Get into a resting position such as lying on a bed and take multiple short breaths until your breathing calms. Drinking a glass of water can also help you reach a state of calm which can help relieve your chest pain. Pain killers can also be useful if the cause is muscular spasm .
if you have a reflux you may check with a doctor for medication and you can try to alleviate your pillow when sleeping and eating non spicy healthy diet
Eating a healthier diet, cutting out smoking or alcohol and developing an exercise routine can be helpful ways to start ridding yourself of pain. Consult with your doctor about which changes would be the most appropriate to make.
So better to checkwith an internal medical doctor to diagnose your pain and give the suitable accrording to the cause .
