A member asked:
I choked on food two months ago. still pain in upper rib cage center under bra area. could i have a hernia from choking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This could : be a sprain of the joint at the costochondral junction.These are small joints where the ribs connect to the sternum( breast bone). Since it’s been 2 months, I would consult your primary care doc for a diagnosis.
