This condition may be caused by overeating or maintaining a prolonged sitting posture. Therefore, patients should get adequate rest to improve their condition. If symptoms are severe, medical treatment at a hospital is recommended. In daily life, take active breaks and avoid maintaining the same posture for extended periods. Applying heat therapy to the chest or affected area, using anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications for symptomatic relief, and engaging in appropriate physical exercise are beneficial. It is best to avoid prolonged use of computers and mobile phones to prevent local compression.
