What is causing my rib cage to feel like it was crushed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crushed??: If this means difficulty expanding and chest tightness, then a lot of things can do it including asthma, copd, cough leading to chest muscle pains, dyspnea, restrictive lung disease.. And i can go on and on... Idea is to see a pulmonary specialist and get a work up done.
