Chest pain started 4 months ago, ct and xray were normal. lately it's worse especially when lifting my young son. could it be muscle related?

Specializes in Pediatrics

Definitely: Sounds like you nailed it on the head. Lots of chest pains are not heart related. If you can reproduce the pain with touch or movement (like lifting your son) it is likely musculoskeletal in origin. Try some ibuprofen, a heating pad, and rest (which may be hard, depending on your son).
