A member asked:

My husband has a knot between his rib cage and it is hurting him, he says it feels like he's having a heart attack, what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?: If the know is red, warm, raised, and tender, it may be an abscess and should be seen promptly. Heart attacks don't cause a "knot" although they are often described a feeling tight. If in doubt, he should be seen in an ER.
