Hello,
With the question “What is the pain in the middle of the chest when bending down? , the doctor's answer is as follows:
Pain in the center of the chest when bending down does not appear to be a sign of heart disease, may be related to the chest wall such as costochondritis, sternum, pleurisy or pneumonia, or Gastrointestinal pathologies such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastric hiatal hernia more.
Depending on whether you have other symptoms, you will decide which specialist to see. As with cough, shortness of breath, pain in deep breathing, go to a Respiratory doctor; If belching, bloating, heartburn, meal-related epigastric pain, pain accompanied by a burning sensation in the chest, consult a Gastroenterologist.
