Musculoskeletal?: The pain you are describing may be musculoskeletal, meaning from the chest wall itself. Sometimes the cartilage in between the ribs can become inflamed, called costochondritis. When this happens, pressing between the ribs will be painful. Are you lifting weights or doing another strenuous activity? Treatment includes ice/heat/rest-ibuprofen can decrease inflammation. See your doctor for diagnosis
