If i am having mind chest pains that have been coming and going all day should i stay up late going to hospital and then be tired at work all day tomorrow or am i letting my paranoid wife get the best of me? no other abnormalities just a mid chest pain
Hi, I understand your concern and would like to know if the chest pain is triggered by deep breathing or body movements. This could indicate possible musculoskeletal pain or local inflammation.  In such case, there is nothing to worry about it and the main thing to do is taking ibuprofen in order to help relieve the pain. Otherwise, if the chest pain is not modulated by deep breathing or body movements, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and a resting ECG coupled with cardiac enzymes.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
