Weird chest pain today

56 replies

I'm having this weird chest pain today and I don't know what to make of it.

I noticed it earlier when taking a depth breath. It's quite sore. The top of my back feels a bit sore and then this soreness, especially when breathing in.

But also just feels generally sore.

I don't really think it warrants the doc yet.

Has anyone else had this ? It's mainly sore when taking deep breaths.

New chest pain should always be investigated by a doctor

I mean, loads of people will have had chest pains but nobody can advise what it is. Best to get it checked tbh as it's new. Hopefully nothing but nobody here can confirm. It's a really busy area of the body, so to speak. Could be a lot of causes .

If you phone 111 you’ll likely get an ambulance because you’ve used the magic words chest pain. Similarly if you call the GP they are likely to send you to A&E. Anyone you call/see will want to do an ecg. May as well pack up your phone charger and a book and pop down to A&E.

It could be anything from slight inflammation or a pulled muscle to a heart attack or PE but it needs checking in A and E.

Hopefully someone with some medical expertise will answer. I would ring 111, chest pain of course can be linked to the heart although it's likely to have a much less dramatic cause, but we don't know.

You need to go to A and E.
