Need advice please - Chest pain related...

[Ella_Jayne]

Hi,

My boyfriend has been having what he calls 'chest discomfort' for about 24hours now, he's not an anxious person at all and is refusing to go to a&e. He said it's not sore, just uncomfortable but naturally this gets me anxious as most people associate chest pain with the heart. He's not short of breath or has any other symptoms. Could it be muscular? He decribes the pain as if you were lay on your chest for a while and then suddenly get up, that sort of relief feeling... Any advice on what it may be?

Thanks.

It could be a number of things.. muscular, GERD. I have GERD and get all kinds of weird chest pains that freak me out, but every time I go in for it I'm told it's, yet again, my GERD.

Where is the chest pain exactly?

It's central and over to the right side.

Could be muscular or even indigestion - it is so hard to tell without an examination etc.
