A member asked:

What causes a pain in chest / ribs on either side of xiphoid right along bra line (even with bra off)? passed stress test. pcp says heart ok. .

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptom: It is difficult to say but clearly you don't have cardiac disease to account for this. Most likely it is related to either skin irritation or intercostal muscle irritation perhaps costochondritis.
