Yes I get this alot. I believe it to be costochronditis (sp) it hurts all across chest area especially under boob's in ribs and sides and around to back. Very painful

Sounds scary and unpleasant Stephie. Are you encouraged to check it out or disparaged. How can one tell it is not a heart attack. Take care.

Yes, pain under, above, wraps to the back, armpit too sometimes. Painful when touched, cramps or sharp pain or deep aches. Just breathe gently, calmly, try to relax. Think positive thoughts. Stress definitely tightens more.

Lucy: it’s Costochondritis. Stretching may help. I use ice packs on& off.
God bless!

I had this pain diagnosed as gall bladder. They took my gall bladder out and I still had the pain. Live and learn. Still have the same pain at 76 years old.
