Dr. Scott Naftulin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

What is the cause?: The cause of the pain will determine the cure. Causes can include cardiac, pulmonary, gi(esophagus, stomach) or musculoskeletal (costochondritis). Evaluation by a primary care sports medicine physician would be most beneficial.
