Unusual: Such an unusual discomfort may be due to stretching of muscles and/or ligaments in the neck and upper rib cage. Have you been doing any exercises or weight lifting that could be straining these muscles or ligaments? If so, avoid putting stress on the upper chest area to see if the symptoms resolve. See your Physician if symptoms persist.
