A member asked:

I have severe thoracic degenerative disc disease and desiccation. i have started having trouble breathing, chest pain, rib pain, and heart palpitation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: Degenerative disc disease of the thoracic spine can cause rib pain, chest pain, and shortness of breath ( from pain) but it shouldn't cause palpitations. Palpitations, chest pain and sob can also be heart problems. Go see doctor right away. Make sure your heart is ok.
