What causes left-sided chest pain when trying to bend wrist?
Patient: about 3 months ago i woke up one morning and my chest kinda hurt. the pain was on my left side of my chest and i had trouble getting up and ready because of the pain i couldnt get up fast. the pain comes 3 or 4 times a month now randomly and it occurs when i try to bend or twist. Doctor: Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. As a rule in left sided chest pain, we need to rule out cardiac cause first. So better to get done1. Ecg2. 2d echo3. Stress test. If all of the above tests are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. You are having simple muscular pain. So take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant. Don't worry, you will be alright.
