I think that's what I've done...doctor is treating me for reflux (go figure!) because my gastritis has kicked off again mainly because I've pulled this muscle. Gawd it hurts, and of course swinging that hoooge trolley around at work doesn't help!

I would like to know if anyone has, what your symptoms were.

I have an hiatus hernia which gives excruiating chest pain, reflux and gastritus problems so it sounds like it may be that

oh I remember when I had the endoscopy's they said I had polyps in the stomach and a hyatus hernia.....oh wonderous joy!

I've never had a pulled chest muscle but it does sound painful. Hopefully, you will soon feel better CB.

Yes I bloomin have must be 30 years ago left hand side behind my you know what. Thought I was having a heart attack, I could hardly breath for the pain, I went to a and e and felt a right charley when they said I had pulled a chest muscle. It was very scary at that age.

Hope it gets better soon CB you are off again soon aren't you. Rest rest and more rest for you lady.

Never had a pulled chest muscle so can't help with the symptoms

however

given the job that you do, this sounds like an "industrial injury" to me - I would advise ensuring that it is logged in the accident book at work.

Pulled a chest muscle (right hand side) about 4 months ago so I can sympathise with you.

The following worked for me:

A 'wheaty bag' over the area that has the pain, rub peppermint oil over the area to relieve the inflammation and ease the muscle, chew a large piece of crystalised gingwer after any meal to aid digestion and stop any strain on the muscles and deep breating excercises to excersise the muscle and assist healing.

Took about 3 weeks but t worked.
