Avatar n tn I doubt that all you describe is caused by the same thing.
Avatar f tn I am 16 years old and 115 pounds I was sick for a few days last week and went to the doctor. I was having something like muscle spasms in my chest under my ribs they told me I had massive acid reflux. So I have been drinking water and powerade (no soft drinks) since.
Avatar f tn m trying to get in sooner. The tightness in the chest is there pretty much all day and does involve the whole left rib cage on most occasions. I do have shoulder pain and pain around my spine but was told by the spinal dr that there is really nothing there to be causing it. The numbness comes and goes throughout the day like the tightness does. It's really annoying. Thank you for the info and hopefully I'll have an answer to this soon.
Avatar f tn The muscle was attached to the first couple of ribs giving me the feeling of chest pain. They got the muscle to let loose and it was instant relieve! Since then when I start to get the pain in my chest I take a muscle relaxer prescribed by my doctor and the pain is gone pretty quick. I know you said your pain lasts only a few minutes and I remember that I could feel when the muscle would pull and it would be a sharp stabbing pain.
Avatar n tn I get costochondritis, but for me it feels more like an inflammatory-type pain in between my ribs which makes it very difficult to take a deep breath. I believe costochondritis is treated with an anti-inflammatory medication. Sometimes a pain or pressure in the area under the sternum is a GI issue from stomach bloating and/or gastric reflux. Stomach bloating can press on your diaphragm making it difficult to breath.
Avatar n tn I want to add I had the cramps in my throat and face too. The same twinges if sudden cramp all over face and thraot and under toungue. Toungue stiffness and thraot stiffness. Its like constant state of tightness in throat that makes it difficult to swallow. Just like calf will be sore for days after cramps, throat stiffens like that. Talking chewing swallowing makes it worse anf even the tightness make me gag at times. It even in my stomach and ribs.
Avatar f tn Over time, the pain has increased in frequency, I now have sharper pains in my arm, muscle twitches in my chest and back and below my ribs. I get weird headaches in one spot in the back of my head, like a twinge and sometimes behind my eye. I have had a few spasms in my chest and one shooting pain in my left arm that caused my heart to race and then go into an irregular rhythm for 2-3 minutes.
245504 tn?1224099316 I have had anxiety/panic attacks for at least 12 years. I am in one of my anxious kicks (hypochondriac) lately and am experiencing a "new" symptom of intermittent chest tightness on the upper left side of my chest (almost near shoulder). It just comes and goes and it is just a tight sensation. I have read this could be anxiety and am wondering if anyone else experiences this. FYI I recently had a echo done that was all good and holter monitor showing Sinus Rhythm/Sinus Tach.

Avatar n tn I have trouble with tightness in my chest. Do your ribs and sternum hurt? Since I had sarcoidosis in the lungs, I have gotten what my doctor refers to as a severe case of costocondritis. Think that's spelled correctly. Anyway, I feel like something is squeezing my chest and it is painful just to touch the ribs and sternum. Anyway, I can certainly appreciate your discomfort because I have been dealing with it a long time.
Avatar f tn Hi Everyone, I came down with a mild flu roughly 11 weeks ago and have suffered with muscle and ligament pain from cramps, tightness and aches ever since granted it has improved since it began so that I'm not in constant pain all day like I was but I have muscles that since this whole thing started have pulled tight and remained that way, I get quick sharp pains usually in my legs and arms ( like the muscle is about to cramp but doesnt ) cramps on and off that leave my muscles sore particul
Avatar f tn Some people experience paresthesia, and they get a phantom sensation of tightness across the chest. Others have a painful chest cramp or spasm, that goes all the way around and makes it difficult to breathe. I've never gotten that phantom sensation, but I have had chest cramps that sometimes go halfway around, sometimes are around my sternum, or around the back area. I would definitely mention it to the doctor at USC when you go.
Avatar f tn My symptoms have slowly changed from a vague pressure to almost a stabbing pain/tightness along the bottom right side of my ribs extending from the right side of my ribcage to a little passed my sternum. The pain/tightness has been so severe, I can't reallly take normal breaths without a huge amount of pain. And when I try to yawn, I can't because there's too much pain when I try to inhale.
Avatar n tn Basically, it feels like there is this extreme tightness around my abdomen. My ribs, spine, and chest often feel bruised and very sore. The weird part is my nose is all messed up, like it's being blocked off or flooded with some type of horrible sickness, but I don't have any infections or colds. The weirdest part is the breathing problem seems to change with position.
Avatar m tn For a week, I have had tightness in my chest. It doesn't hurt, just a constant tight feeling. I have no problems breathing or swallowing. I have been having back muscle stiffness, and overall muscle tingling. For the past two months I have had major sinus drainage from allergies.
Avatar f tn It often times feels like people are poking pencils in between my ribs. When I take a deep breath my chest hurts really bad. The same kind of pain with my ribs. It happens every once and a while. Most of the time it happens when I sit for long periods of time or just random occasions where there's no apparent reason for them. I usually have to leave school and take medicine and lay down until they subside. They last for a few hours and then disappear. Does anybody know what this could be?
1531606 tn?1324836643 When you say tightness of your L chest that sort of leaves us open to interpetation. The heart sits dead center of your chest, between the nipple lines and very slightly to the left and would be in most cases the size of your left fist. Is that the area you are speaking of or further over and higher or lower? If you are concerned about having a heart attack as i always say there is nothing on this earth that looks like a male having a heart attack.
Avatar m tn I started to feel tightness in my chest, however, I think it was just the fact that I was panicking about this.
Avatar f tn For the last month or so I have had chest pains (chest tightness etc) and have been waking up during the night struggling to breath. I have had severe night sweats and this is something I am very worried about. Was wondering if anyone else suffers from this and could tell me what i may be. Would like to add that I am an anxious person so not sure if it is getting made worse because of this.
1495634 tn?1291391579 Most of the time, you will get the belt feeling in the chest because spastic costal muscles wil pull the ribs and that creates that banded/belt feeling around the chest. The spasticity has to effect more muscles in the abdomen for this to happen. I have spasms of the rectus abdominus (the six pack muscles) that feel like I did way too many sit ups (one is to many.) To get that wrap around feeling, I guess you would have to spasms of the external abdominal obliques (under the love handles.
Avatar f tn I wasn't sure where to put this so general seemed appropriate! I'm a 17 year old girl and for the last week and a half every morning I wake up with a tightness in my chest. It's not painful, just tight, I can only feel it when I breathe in deeply and it only happens when I wake up in the morning for about 10 minutes. What could this be? Cause for concern?
Avatar m tn I am not sure if my upper back pain started before weaning of meds, but I have extreme chest tightness and pain on left side of chest. even feels as if effecting upper spine. had chest xray and heart tests done. everything fine. but I am pretty sure it comes from effexor xr. I also developed hyper tension.
Avatar f tn During the recovery period, what the patient will mostly experience, for example patient 's chest ribs tightness & pain during coughing, yawning or burping. What to take note of certain symptoms & necessary precaution?
