What does the pain feel like?

It's weird.. Between my breasts and down a little, like a pressure, weird feeling that hurts and into my lower ribs and straight through to my back

If you push on your chest or breast bone, does it hurt? Sounds like mine, cartilage and stuff. You lift a lot of stuff?

Doesn't hurt when I push or anything. I'm tiny, like 106 pounds so the only thing "heavy" I lift is my 9 month old who is 20 pounds.

Did u just eat???

[frankzito]

Or maybe you sleep funny and makes your back hurt. Problems I have

[laurentellez]

When I sleep weird, it makes my chest and back hurt...

[MrsJ88]

I have no idea... It's 9:30pm here so I haven't been asleep since this morning when I woke up and it just started hurting a bit ago.

I ate an hour ago.

You gotta give it a pretty good push,
Thats how realized mine was just my beast bone hurting. But I get other chest pains too . Wish I could help

Does it increase if you breathe in deeply or change position (bend over, lay down, etc.)?

My doc told me that pain or pressure in your chest can be caused me built up gas.. because this is one of my worst symptoms is gas!! Pressure and back most definitely sounds like gas built up... I deal with 24/7 hate it.

If I breathe in deeply (like I'm always trying to do) yes it does increase then and laying down flat on a hard surface like the floor makes it hurt also

[str8trippin]

Hm. Not sure this is what it could be but I have something called costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the sternum. It's nothing serious, but what you're describing sounds something like it...I have it flare up every few months...random things trigger it.

If you raise your left arm does your chest hurt worse?

I've heard of costochondritis... I'd honestly feel better if I knew it was that and not my heart.


No, nothing changes if I raise my left arm

[Stephj526]

I once heard that if it was heart related that it would hurt the raise your arm, but not sure where they got their info.
Have you been coughing lately?
