It hurts when I press the middle of my chest

Many friends are particularly afraid of pain in the middle of the chest, worrying whether it is caused by heart disease such as angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, etc. In fact, pain when pressing the middle of the chest is very common in life. Many friends have this experience. So what is the reason for pain when pressing the middle of the chest? What are some good solutions and measures? Next I will give you a detailed introduction.

If it is caused by costochondritis and is related to playing hard or collision, don't worry. If you are afraid, you can do a chest X-ray to rule out fractures. Suggestions: After exclusion, local hot compress can be applied to improve local blood circulation and promote recovery. Chest pain caused by acute costochondritis can be treated with oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, antiviral drugs, and blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing plasters, and by reducing the movement of the upper limbs and chest expansion. When the pain is obvious, local blocking injections can be given, which have a better analgesic effect. At present, you should pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol. You can also use red ointment for external treatment. Recovery is slow, don't rush.

Consider the possibility of lymph node inflammation. Suggestions: It is best not to take painkillers on your own before the examination, such as painkillers, paracetamol, APC or ibuprofen, indomethacin, etc. Because using these drugs will mask the symptoms of the disease on the one hand, aggravate the condition on the other hand, and interfere with diagnosis, which is harmful rather than helpful. Pay more attention to rest, proper diet and balanced nutrition. Do not smoke or drink, and avoid spicy and greasy food. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and keep your bowel movements smooth.

Consider the possibility of stomach disease. The oral cavity belongs to the xiphoid process in medicine. This position is generally where the stomach is located. If there is pain when pressing this area, you should be alert to stomach disease. Guidance: It is recommended that you have a gastroscopy. Of course, if you are obese, you should also check the gallbladder with B-ultrasound to rule out the symptoms of cholecystitis. Anti-infection treatment, antispasmodic treatment, etc. are needed. Choose omeprazole or amoxicillin for treatment. Pay attention to your diet, do not drink coffee, eat less chocolate and fried puffed foods. It is recommended to change bad hygiene habits, have a scientific diet structure, and at the same time strengthen physical exercise and improve physical fitness, which is the best way to prevent various common diseases.
