I've been having this mild chest pain on my left side and sometimes feel pain in my hand too, along with back pain. It's been going on for a while and I've already done two ECGs in the past couple of months; both came back normal. My family doctor thinks it might be because I sit for long hours as an IT professional, but the pain hasn't really gone away. Sometimes my chest still hurts a bit on the left side. What should I do about this?
Based on your symptoms and normal ECG reports, it is possible that your chest pain, left hand pain, and back pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues due to prolonged sitting in front of a laptop. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try the following: 1. Take breaks and stretch regularly while working on your laptop. 2. Maintain a good posture while sitting. 3. Use ergonomic equipment such as a supportive chair and keyboard. 4. Consider physical therapy or exercises to strengthen your back and improve posture. 5. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can help with mild pain. 6. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, focus on improving your posture and taking regular breaks to prevent strain on your muscles and joints.
