What is the treatment for chest wall syndrome?
Patient: I recently had an EKG with normal results (2 weeks ago).  Was told I had chest wall syndrome.  The last couple of days, the pain has been worse, feeling like a sore chest muscle.  I just took blood pressure at Publix with a reading of 134 over 82- the worst I've ever had.  I am 40 and work out regularly. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. No need to worry for heart diseases as your blood pressure and ecg are normal. Do following things for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid movements causing pain. 2. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.3. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.4. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.5. Wear chest belt.You will mostly improve with all these in 1-2 weeks.Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
