[|Human|] I have been having chest pain (pressure, not sharp pains), am frequently tired, and have been diagnosed with PFO. The chest pain occurs more often during exercise or when under stress. Should I worry about the pain and is there a long-term solution? Thank you.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since your chest discomfort (pressure) is mostly related to exercise, it is muscular pain mostly. But cardiac pain can occur with stress and exercise.  So we need to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG.  If this is normal than no need to worry about cardiac cause.  It is muscular pain mostly. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief for long time.1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise. 2. Avoid bad postures in sleep. 3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant. 4. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
