2 weeks ago I was reaching across the table and my back spazzed out (right side), from the buttocks up. I did the usual remedies; heat, cold, pain meds, inflam meds, stretching. Its better (still a slight twinge in said area). yesterday I woke up with a very heavy feeling in my chest which got progressively worst during the day and today. It feels as if I was hit in the chest by something (not someone except maybe HEman (master of the universe). Also today it has migrated to my upper back, shoulders and when I lift my arms its uncomfortable. If I take a deep breathe its also uncomfortable.
Hello Thanks for posting at Chat Doctor. I could have helped you better had you mentioned your age, and other associated health issues if any. Going by your symptoms, here is a possibility of cardiac involvement vs muscular spasms. To rule or cardiac element, I suggest an ECG and a 2 d echo test. If both the above tests are normal then a treadmill test or a stress test should be done. This will give us sufficient information about the heart, its functioning and possibility of a cardiac element in near future. If above tests at normal, then you should take anti-inflammatory non-steroidal medications (NSAIDs) like diclofenac for five days duration. Wishing you good healthRegards
