Chest pain in the mid-point area and heart area can have various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, heart problems, or even anxiety. Since you are a 32-year-old female professional physiotherapist, it's important to consider your daily activities and any recent changes in your routine that may have contributed to the chest pain. Given your symptoms and profession, it's important to rule out any musculoskeletal issues first. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) for temporary relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and practicing good posture may help alleviate the discomfort. However, since chest pain can also be a symptom of heart problems, it's crucial to monitor your symptoms closely. If the chest pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, or nausea, you should seek immediate medical attention. It's always better to be safe and have a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions.
