I experienced a sudden jerk in the left side of my chest while I was sleeping at night. My ECG came back normal. What should I do next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is possible that the sudden jerk in your left side chest could be due to muscle spasm or a benign condition. However, if you continue to experience this sensation or if it is associated with other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5-10mg as needed for muscle spasm.
