Dr. William Newton answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Myofascial pain: It is good that the symptoms are intermittent. They are most likely muscular and can get triggered by stress, injury, overuse and even from reflux. Since you are young this will probably run its course. If it worsens or continues for more than a few weeks then see your pcp.
