Q: Reasons for chest pain

asked by: DoctorQuestion on July 25th, 2008

I don't drink, smoke, or take any drugs. However, I used to drink a lot of coffee, 1 full teaspoon with upto 3 teaspoons of sugar. I drink like that 2~ 3 times a day. I used to do this for 6~ 8 years. I don't do much exercise either. I felt my chest felt worse when I drink coffee these days so I stopped it completely a 3 weeks ago, not even one single cup of coffee. The pain seemed to some-what lessened but the sore pain is still there. Also, I used to sleep with my blanket covered my face entirely. That's how I used to sleep for years. But I have stopped that too about 3 weeks ago. I am concerned now. Any suggestions or what maybe wrong with me?

Chest pain could originate from the nerves, ribs, muscles, heart or lungs. It is very hard to diagnose your problem without certain medical examinations. You need several medical tests (ECG, chest and spinal X-ray, standard blood tests…) to reveal the origin of the chest pain.

You may want to consult your family doctor first.
