My left side of my upper back hurts! Advice?!


Question: It ONLY happens towards the end of the day... it does not hurt when i lay down.... when i sit in a chair or bend forward is when it hurts most... its been happening for like a week now. Its kind of a sharp pain/ aching Its a weird feeling and I cant tell where its coming from. I am only 19 so its not my heart... but i dunno. I had a bad cough that was going away when the pain first started... maybe its a strain from coughing hard? Advice???!?

Sounds like a strained muscle. You could try Ibuprofen 200mg in accordance with the instructions (available without prescription from your pharmacist). This is an anti-inflammatory pain killer and should be safe as long as you don't have any allergies (read the instructions). If the problem persists, consult your GP.

Go see your doctor; it is probably just a strain but why wait to find out? 19 or 91, you should not ignore or trivialise chest pains.

Please Don't take advice off the Internet go see your GP, possible nothing serious but seek help from Professionals.
