What causes chest pain on right side and shoulder blade pain?
Patient: I have been sick for a few days now with cold/flu-like symptoms. Yesterday I woke up with chest pain on the right side. It felt as if I had been punched and it went through to the back at an angle feeling it at the right shoulder blade. What could this be? Is it the flu? Doctor: Hi ....I can understand your concern.You have viral flu....So yes it can lead to muscle pain like constitutional symptoms....Symptomatic treatment done...Take rest...For cold you can take oxymetazoline nasal drop as decongestent...Cetrizine tablet taken to relieve inflammationDrink more water...Steam inhalation with eucalyptus good one.Avoid excess spicy and fried food for few days....If still symptom present your auscultation done....and if need chest xray done...Take care.Dr.Parth
