A member asked:
21yo female. pain lower left ribs and sternum. got checked for a heart health condition and everything came back normal. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Chest pain in the young can be caused by smoking, inflammation where ribs join the breast plate in the chest, and frequently from anxiety and stress. Those are generalities so if persistent, see you doctor, even though heart tests are normal.
