I've been having this muscle pain around my chest for a while now. I think it might be a muscle tear from sleeping in a bad position. There's no breathlessness, just pain. Do you think it's anything serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain in your chest, possibly due to a muscle tear from sleeping in the wrong posture. Since you are not experiencing breathlessness, it is less likely to be related to any serious cardiac issues. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with both dengue and typhoid at the same time, and my platelet count is at 1.9 lakh. I've tested positive for antigen NS1 and had a positive Widal test. Should I be worried about this and consider getting hospitalized, or is it something I can manage at home?
