[|Human|] I AM HAVING UNBERABLE CHEST PAIN/PRESSURE. IT STARTS IN MY STERNUM AND TRAVELS UNDER MY BREAST AND AROUND BOTH SIDES OF MY RIB CAGE. I WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH PLEURISY AND TOOK THE MEDICATION BUT THERE WAS NO RESULT. WHAT OTHER THINGS COULD BE GOING ON?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should definitely rule out heart and lung diseases for your symptoms because your symptoms are not improving with pleurisy treatment. So consult doctor and get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. Get done chest x-ray to rule out lung infection and pleural effusion. If all these are normal then no need to worry about major heart and lung diseases. Sometimes simple musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
