Q: Chest pains originating from muscles

asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 30th, 2009

For the past week I've been having pain in the upper right side of my chest, sometimes the left also. It sometimes radiates underneath my armpits beside my breast. And also under my right shoulder blade. I've also been nausea all week as well. Pregnancy tests all say negative. Any clue as to what this could be?

According to your age, it doesn’t seem to me that your chest pains are related with the heart or lungs. It seems likely that they originate from the muscles. But anyway, you need a physical examination, standard blood tests, and an ECG to reveal the right diagnosis. A chest X-ray image can also be requested, if necessary.

You can consult your primary health provider.
