I'm experiencing this dull pain on the left side of my chest, kind of between the center of my left chest rib and going up towards my left shoulder. It's been happening for about 3 days now, and it gets worse when I lean forward or round my shoulders, but sometimes when I stretch my left shoulder back, it feels a bit better for a while. I dont think its acidity because I dont have issues with that, and Ive never had high blood pressure or heart problems. What could be causing this pain?

Based on your description, the dull pain you are experiencing on the left side of your chest that worsens with certain movements could be musculoskeletal in nature. It may be due to muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall or shoulder muscles. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant such as Cyclobenzaprine 10mg twice a day for a few days to help relieve the pain and discomfort. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the affected area can also provide relief. Remember to avoid activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture to prevent further strain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm 21 years old and feeling pretty weak. My weight's only 47 kg, and I'm experiencing chest pain whenever I do any heavy work. I also have heart palpitations, feel weak, and yawn a lot. I've attached my x-ray reportcould you take a look and let me know what's going on?
Based on your symptoms of chest pain, heart palpitations, weakness, and excessive yawning, along with your low weight, it is important to rule out any underlying cardiac issues or anemia. Since you have provided an x-ray report, it would be best to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For chest pain and heart palpitations, you can take **Metoprolol** 25mg twice daily to help with the symptoms. Additionally, if anemia is confirmed, you can take **Ferrous Sulfate** 325mg once daily to improve your iron levels and alleviate weakness. Please follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate management.

I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.
When there is no cardiac issue that could be pleuritis or costochondritis no need to worry take rest and foolow your doctors advice.
