I've been dealing with this dull pain for about four months now, and I'm really starting to worry. I don't have any other symptoms like shortness of breath or anything, but I'm concerned it might be heart-related. Could this kind of pain without those typical symptoms still be linked to a heart issue?

Dull pain lasting for 4 months can be concerning, especially if it is located in the chest area. While chest pain can be a symptom of heart problems, it is not always the case. Other conditions such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or anxiety can also cause chest pain. Since you do not have any other symptoms like shortness of breath, it is less likely to be related to the heart. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for temporary relief.
