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.

Slight pain on the left side of the chest with a normal ECG (electrocardiogram) and blood pressure of 100/70 could be due to causes other than heart problems, such as acid reflux or musculoskeletal issues.

🩺 Possible Causes

  • Acidity or acid reflux can cause chest discomfort that may persist despite initial treatment.
  • Muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall could cause pain, especially if the injection given was a pain reliever like Zerodol (aceclofenac), which targets inflammation.
  • Less commonly, other non-cardiac causes like anxiety or lung-related issues might cause similar symptoms.

⚠️ When to Seek Urgent Care

  • If the pain worsens, spreads to the arm, neck, or jaw, or is accompanied by sweating, shortness of breath, or dizziness, seek emergency care immediately.
  • Persistent or worsening pain despite treatment should be evaluated further.

🩺 Next Steps

  • Follow up with your doctor or a gastroenterologist if acidity is suspected to adjust treatment.
  • Consider evaluation by a cardiologist if symptoms persist or new symptoms develop, despite a normal ECG.
  • Keep a symptom diary noting triggers, duration, and severity to help guide further assessment.
