1. What is the reason for severe chest pain?

1. Chest wall muscle spasm: The main feature is local tenderness. Changes in body position, chest movement, and deep breathing can aggravate the pain. It can also manifest as tingling, spasmodic pain, etc. The causes are mostly due to prolonged incorrect posture, bending over, leaning on a desk, strenuous exercise, local cold, etc., which cause chest wall muscle fatigue and spasm. This kind of chest pain is very common among computer workers.

2. Chest pain caused by heart reasons: The most common is angina pectoris, which is paroxysmal and severe, mostly located in the precordial area, rarely above the heart, and without local tenderness.

3. Rib lesions: The most common is costochondritis, which occurs in the 2nd to 4th costal cartilages in the upper chest. The local area may become thicker, raised, swollen, painful and tender, but there is no redness or swelling of the local skin.

4. Intercostal neuralgia: The pain is often distributed along the intercostals, and is most obvious in the mid-axillary line, beside the spine, and beside the sternum. It presents as a stabbing or burning pain, and may be aggravated by turning around, taking a deep breath, or coughing.

5. Pleuritic chest pain: The pain is mostly located in the armpit or near the armpit, often accompanied by low fever, cough, shallow and rapid breathing, etc.

What are some ways to relieve breast pain?

1. Change your eating habits: You can eat more low-fat and high-fiber foods, such as fiber from vegetables and beans. These foods can effectively promote breast recovery and relieve pain. In this way, you can eat more breast-enhancing foods, such as milk or papaya.

2. Massage your breasts frequently: If you experience chest pain, you can massage your breasts appropriately to help the body fluids return to the lymphatic system. When massaging, apply soapy liquid on the breasts, press the breasts in and then bounce them up with your hands to prevent various breast discomfort symptoms.

3. Wear a firm bra: Some bras can prevent sagging breasts and prevent compression of already compressed breast nerves. If you wear a bra that is too tight or too loose for a long time, it will be detrimental to breast protection and often cause soreness.

4. Avoid diuretics: Some diuretics may cause symptoms of endocrine disorders in the human body and reduce breast swelling. It often causes potassium loss and destroys the balance of electrolytes, which is not conducive to the body's water and salt balance regulation and may even destroy the formation of glucose.
