Pain can be due to chest wall muscles,skin,rib cage &amp; joints of rib cage

Question 2

Accepted Answer

See s doctor: Pancreatitis can cause referred pain to the abdomen, chest, shoulder, and other places, so this may be related to eating fatty foods, which can cause more pain afterwards. If the pain is bothering you, see your GP, especially if the arm is involved, there may be a musculosketal issue or GE reflux that can be causing symptoms.

Hard: To say for certain without examination but more likely in young person are musculoskeletal or pleuritic chest pain.

Question 4

Depends: If it's every single time you exhale, you really should have that checked.  If it's only on occasion, it can be an indicator of pleuritic type chest pain.  In any case you should be checked by your doctor.

Question 5

i'm having lower left chest pain  (esp when exhaling) and usually after eating. sometimes i also feel my heart flip-flops. is this heart problem?

Unlikely: Pain in your chest that changes with a deep breath is generally from rib cage, or inflammatory lung issue. Feeling an irregular hear beat is very common, and usually harmless.  See you provider, and appropriate testing can be done.

Question 9

See MD: I recommend seeing an MD for an exam of heart and lungs. Could be related to lining around lungs or referred pain from heart or even from abdomen.

Question 10

i have chest pain in between the breatbone when i exhale, while i lay down. a squeezing pain, with body spasms. ctscans where made with no issues.help?

Accepted Answer

CT - when?: It's reassuring to know that your CT was normal but was it done for this illness (recently?). Your symptoms can be due to muscular pain, pleurisy or pericarditis. If you have fever, you need repeat chest x-ray, blood count and echo. Otherwise, I'd try an analgesic - ibuprofen or naprosyn (naproxen).
