What is the pain next to my chest

In life, many people often feel chest pain, and most people will inevitably think of some chest diseases when they have chest pain. Of course, the triggering cause is also related to the specific location of the pain. Chest pain and pain beside the chest are two different types of pain, so the causes are also different. You must pay attention to distinguish them so that you can prescribe the right medicine. So what causes pain next to the chest?

1. First check whether there is lung infection, pleurisy, tuberculosis, pneumothorax, etc. Also consider whether there is intercostal neuritis or costochondritis. Sometimes you should also pay attention to the fact that gastrointestinal ulcers and pancreatic diseases may also cause this phenomenon. Also pay attention to check whether there are any problems with liver and gallbladder B-ultrasound and liver function. An electrocardiogram should also be performed to check whether there is a possibility of myocardial ischemia.

2. In addition, chest pain caused by chest wall muscle spasm is the most common. It is often caused by long-term incorrect posture, bending over, leaning on a table, local cold, etc., which leads to chest wall muscle fatigue and spasm and causes chest pain. Local hot compress, such as applying a hot towel to the affected area, can relieve muscle spasms. Apply topical antispasmodic and analgesic tincture to the painful area. If the pain is obvious, anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can be taken for a short period of time.

3. There are many causes of chest pain, mainly due to lesions in the chest wall, pleura, lungs, cardiovascular system and other parts. Intercostal neuropathy can also often cause chest pain. It is recommended that you go to the internal medicine department of a local regular hospital for an examination, do an electrocardiogram, take a chest X-ray, check blood routine and blood biochemistry, make a clear diagnosis, and receive timely treatment. If you experience pain on the right side of your chest, it is mostly due to pain in the interstitial nerve or inflammatory pain caused by a cold. The possibility of neurosis or pleurisy cannot be ruled out. However, people of your age generally do not experience cardiac pain, so in this case, it is recommended that you try some Yuanhu painkiller tablets orally, and do an X-ray test if necessary.
