[|Human|] Hi I ve been suffering with pain on the left side of my chest for about a year, I have a pulling sensation from my neck under my collar bone it also goes through my armpit down to my elbow and into my fingers, I also suffer with pain with my lower ribs on the left side that goes round to my back. The chest pain also goes round to my back.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion it seems muscular pain only. But as a rule in left sided chest pain we need to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG SND 2D Echo to rule cardiac cause. If both of these are normal than your symptoms are most probably due to muscular pain only. So try to follow these for better symptomatic relief.1. Avoid strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid heavy weight lifting.3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.4. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant. 5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.6. Wear chest belt to avoid mobilization of affected part.7. Avoid anxiety and stress and be relaxed and calm.
