Different kind of chest pain

Hi ME,

The cartilage around the chest/breastbone can become sensitive and quite painful. If it persists or is uncomfortable enough to affect your daily life, a visit to the doctor to determine if costochondritis is the cause may be in order.

Costo is an inflammation of the cartilage around the ribcage area, and is benign, aside from the pain. It can be caused/exacerbated by injury/lifting/straining...and the recommended treatment is rest.

I hope this goes away quickly for you. Until then, rest and don't worry.

S.C.

I have heart problems and i want to share with you what my cardiologist told me. He said if you can touch
the spot and its sore its not your heart, I know how hard it is to stop from thinking about this but i wanted
to share.
Also if you read in bed and lean on your elbow on either side it can make this cartlidge very sore, Peace
