A member asked:
Can costochondritis cause weird muscle twitches, like in the ribs? i know it isn't my heart because i've had it checked/can see my chest move in the mirror?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To some degree as costochondritis creates a lot of inflammation that irritates the muscles and puts them at risk for spasm and twitching
