I've had a chest pain which feels like a strain or pulled muscle on the top right of my chest towards my shoulder any ideas what could cause this?

    A strain or a pulled muscle.

    However, if it persists then by all means make an appointment with the GP to see if there's any underlying issue.

    If you're really worried, get to the nearest NHS drop in centre. If you're really, really worried, get to A&E and go NOW. I can't emphasise this enough. GO NOW.

    Personal experience.

    I had it a few months ago, it would come and go...almost rendering me immobile for about a minute. It gradually spread to my back too, and was quite worrying.
    Apparently it can be brought on by stress or pulling a muscle. I was put on Naproxen for 5 days. To be honest, I'd take a trip to your gp after the holidays. Better safe than sorry, but most likely to be a strained muscle.

    Don't call that number, call 111 instead.

    101 is for non emergency police assistance.

    You may need a breast reduction procedure. Having a massive rack has been known to cause pain in the torso region.
