What causes twitching in upper chest with back pain?
Patient: just feeling twitchy in my upper body today. back, upper chest area. not hurting but weird feeling. had some before in back with a back/neck problem in February. I have a broken toe so using walking boots and crutches and staying on the couch all day, and I feel them more today just laying around. Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM.It seems muscular cause only but need to rule out heart causes first.So get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.If this is normal than your symptoms are mostly due to muscular pain.So follow these for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy weight lifting.2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.3. Take painkillers and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad to affected site.
