How can i heal a pulled chest muscle fast and what are ways to get relief from it naturally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cool compresses to the area can reduce the discomfort while in use. However, gentil heat improves blood flow and shortens recovery time. Avoiding the type of exertion that would aggravate the issue would be wise. Minimal use of anti-inflammatory drugs like NSAIDS (Ibuprofen) may be of benefit. Over time it should self-heal, but it would likely take a week or more.
