Suggest remedy for sharp chest pains
Patient: Hello I m a 23 year old female been having sharp chest pains. Started a few months ago I would get them randomly and then it would go away. Just last week it started but hasn t went away went the to the er last Friday and they said it was pleurisy never gave me any type of x ray or ct scan just diagnosed me n sent me home w a shot and prescription for naprosyn500mg. I have yet to get the medicine due to money issues at the moment but the pain hurts so bad when I breath and I just took 4 200mg ibprof. N still feel the pain Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM.In my opinion, you should rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes first for your intermittent chest pain.So get done ECG to rule out heart related causes.Get done chest x ray to rule out pleurisy (inflammation of pleura) and lung related causes.If everything is normal then mostly you have anxiety and related chest discomfort.So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressors in your life and start working on it. Avoid stress and anxiety. Be relax and calm.
