If the chest is painful when squeezing or pressing, the first consideration is sternal osteoarthritis or costochondritis, usually caused by strain or trauma, which can be relieved by anti-inflammatory treatment and physical therapy. Gastroparesis pain caused by stagnation of blood and blood stasis and poor blood circulation can also cause painful squeezing of the chest, which can be treated with oral medication to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Fracture of the sternal stalk can also cause this symptom, which can be treated symptomatically through clinical examination for a clear diagnosis.
