@johnhongkim: Costochondritis is inflammation of the cartilage where your ribs connect to your breastbone. Common symptoms include: -Sharp or aching pain near the breastbone -Tenderness when you press on the area -Pain that worsens with deep breaths, coughing, twisting, or certain movements -Symptoms that can mimic more serious causes of chest pain It can occur after coughing, strenuous exercise, repetitive upper-body activity, or sometimes for no obvious reason. Treatment often includes activity modification, heat/ice, and anti-inflammatory medications when appropriate. Most cases improve with time. With that said…..reproducible chest tenderness can suggest a musculoskeletal cause, but it does not completely rule out heart or lung problems. New, severe, unexplained, or concerning chest pain should be medically evaluated. #costochondritis #chestpain #medicalconditions #nurse #nursepractitioner

I feel it in all my chest and upper arms- armpit area and a slight pain going up to my neck-jaw. It feels a lot better when I take Tylenol, is this normal?

Someone help I’m 18 I’ve had acid reflux for about a month. Chest pain has been happening for a couple months. It sometimes shoots to my upper/lower back. Sometimes pain is in the left side of my ribs too. With the chest pain it’s never anything above a 5/10 pain level. One thing, 3 months ago I was sent to the hospital because I had a very tiny open air pocket between my lung and heart.( it was causing chest pain which is why I went to the hospital) They did all the tests and said it’s very small so they sent me home and said it’ll go away after a couple weeks. Last month I still had chest pain so I went and got an x ray just to have some reassurance. They said they found nothing. What should I do?? Also I’m going to my doctor tomorrow or after. What should I tell him. What test should I ask him to give me?

What about on the left side with back pain, like somehow connected? I had that for a whole day, and also sometimes out of a sudden that didn’t last that long. But one time it was the whole day
