I have chest pain in my sternum when I walk briskly; if I keep on walking it goes away; should I be worried? I take aspirin, and half a hypertension pill and have a nitroglycerine spray. Which I just got today but have never used. Sometimes when I bend over the tub to turn on the taps the pains comes again.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case, but better to first rule out heart diseases. You are already having hypertension and taking aspirin tablet, so we should first rule out cardiac diseases for your chest pain. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more. So take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright, but better to rule out cardiac diseases first. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
