I have slight pain on the left side of my chest. The doctor said it might be due to acidity and gave me an injection, but the pain is still present. My ECG was normal, and my BP was 100/70. What could be the cause?
Since your ECG is normal and BP was 100/70, the pain is less likely to be heart-related, especially if your doctor has examined you. Common causes include acidity/acid reflux, muscle strain, anxiety, or chest wall inflammation (costochondritis). If the pain increases with movement, pressing on the area, or deep breathing, it is often muscular. Try light meals, avoid spicy/oily food, and take antacids as advised. However, if the pain becomes severe, spreads to the arm/jaw, is associated with sweating, breathlessness, or persists continuously, seek medical attention immediately.
