Any doctors or anyone that knows. ?
Heythere asked:
I hurt my chest. I have a heavy pressure/pain in the middle of my chest/ sternum area when I press on it,,when I arch my back a certain way,,or when I get up from bed..etc. Basically from moving a certain way and pressing on it. It’s quite uncomfortable. I was lifting some heavy things at my job and carrying things up and down a large flight of stairs for the last few days. It also hurts when I take a deep breath,,,like somone knocked the breath out of me or something. I’m sure it’s not cardiac related as i’m young and healthy and actually just and an ekg and full blood work up 6 months ago that was fine. It def feels like I hurt it in some way. I looked up the symptoms on web md and it said something about costochondritis which sounds right. My question is,,,I don’t have insurance and don’t want to pay the money for the doc. Does anyone have any suggestions to help with the discomfort?
By the way,,I could be pregnant..I should have put that.

there are otc drugs that might help… I like naproxyn sodium myself, one brand name for that is Aleve. Taken as directed it can decrease inflammation and there by ease the pain from your injury.

If can get some pain killers,that will decrease the pain.
DON’T lift heavy weights for few days.
warm compressions with a cloth will be good.
if you can get a x-ray done,that would be fine because i was thinking of rib fracture.though treatment will be almost what i have told and a little bit of more bed rest
