A member asked:

Can overeating triggers chest pain if you have costochondritis? or is it something else?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Rib pain: Usually pain from costochondritis is activity related. I have not heard of any patients who had pain that was increased ny eating. I would review w your primary care doc.
