Hello all,
Happy Easter!
All day today, on and off I've had sharp pains in my chest muscles going through to my mid back which feels really stiff and achey.
I've had quite a lot of anxiety this week (both as a side effect of antibiotics and worrying about symptoms), so I may well have tensed up. I also have ongoing posture problems,
I just wondered if anyone has hard sharp tender muscle / chest pain. It tends to feel sharp if I breathe in deeply or press on it, or lean forward / backward.
I spoke to NHS 111 today who said it sounded like it was muscoskeletal pain as I had no breathing problems or any red flag symptoms.
I had blood pressure and pulse checked at the hospital and they said all was healthy there, so I know it's very unlikely to be heart related, but still the constant pain makes me worry about pneumonia and lung problems etc.
Anyone had similar?
