The pain is only in the base (tip) of the sternum.  It feels like got hit hard in the chest, right between both ribcages. In 30 year old male. It just started several minutes ago.  Does anyone know what this could be (from)?

Being in the air conditioning hurts my chest pretty bad, I can't be in it for too long. They say you shouldn't take any chance with chest pain though. Does it happen at any particular time of the day, or when you're doing anything? Do you get short of breath or dizzy or have any other symptoms? It could just be something as simple as angina or stress, but it's best to have it checked out.

That's exactly what my gall bladder attack felt like.  I went to the ER and was told I had a kidney stone.  They sent me home and 4 days later when I was still hurting, I asked my husband to rub my back.  When he started mashing on the right side of my back, the pain immediately moved to the front and I was doubled over in pain. I went back to the ER and found out they were going to have to remove my gall bladder laproscopically.  However, because I went so long without treatment, it turns out they had to do open gall bladder surgery.  You didn't say, is the pain more on your right side?  If so, its a big possibility that it is your gall bladder.  I know from experience that the doctors can misdiagnose the problem at first.  If you are still hurting, go back and have them check it. You want to catch it before it becomes too infected and inflamed. Open gall bladder surgery is very painful and you'll want to aviod it if possible.\n\nHope that was of some help to you.   Good Luck and take care!

could be the result of a new exercise routine.  you have muscles between your ribs that could be just sore from deep inhalation or new movements.  that would coincide with your legs hurting.  but i cant think of any medical conditions that would cause both of these symptoms.

There could be a circulation problem or something more severe. Talk to your doc asap. about it.

Not to panic, but these are symptoms consistent with very serious conditions including aneurysm or hydracephelus promarily. If I were you I would get to the ER for a brain CT STAT. Seriously dont wait if the pain hasnt subsided with analgesics it could be very critical. Let me know if you have more questions mcc_md@yahoo.com

It sound like you're talking about the sternum. This is the part of the rib cage where the ribs meet. If I interpreted your description correctly, the bump is simply part of the sternum, where the end of a rib is protruding from the surface of the chest a little. It's actually a part of the rib cage, so it is a bone. It's more pronounced on him now, because he lost some weight, but it's probably always been there. I have the same thing and it doesn't seem to be a problem; it's always been there. But he should go to the doctor just to make sure.

You must not worry about your BP as it seems just OK.  As far as your pulse is concerned, the cause of it being 90 could be an anxiety associated while the pulse is being counted by someone or even if you are doing it yourself.  Let someone else take your pulse when you are relaxing and free from anxiety of any sort.  \n\nYour chest pain could arise for various reasons and the most common ones being costo-chondritis (inflammation of the chest cage at the points where the ribs meet with the cartilages), a chest infection like pneumonia or pleurisy), or it may be related to heart or the pericardium.   The best thing would be that you consult your own doctor for it.  However, a simple test would determine whether it is because of the heart or the chest wall/lungs or the pleural coverings.  Try coughing.  If the pain worsens, the chances are that it is not because of the heart.  Good luck.

Are you sure is a muscle?\nI had that once and turns out I had damaged a rib by coughing too hard.\nI couldn't reach too far or lift a lot of weight.\nFind that out! I think a pulled muscle shoudn't have taken that long to heal.\n\nGood Luck!

If the pain is after doing some exercise/walking, then it may be Angina (consult the Doctor immediatly), if it is random, it may be due to some stomach problem,  or even some muscular pain. I have recently have Bypass surgery, and studied a lot of literature, if you need any assistance in case of heart problem, then contact me at hafeez_butt@yahoo.com

It does sound like your back. Typically a pinched nerve in the mid thoracic area will affect an organ or nerve ending creating some pain. I would first get some deep tissue massage done on that area and see if it relieves some of your discomfort. Sometimes an imbalance in muscles will pinch those nerves in the spine. If it doesn't relieve it I would get a different opinion to find out what is going on.

There are many conditions of the sternum and why it pops in and out. So, before I start giving you my nursing opinion which may scare the crap out of you, I'll start with giving you this web site. It can be a very serious condition. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!! I've found you one, but I'm going on the search for more. Okay, so I found a few for you, I hope they help. One thing I found out was that medications can't help you besides pain killers. Like I said GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU! Don't' keep using your bread basket like there was nothing wrong, as there is. Something serious. Please treat yourself with kid gloves, and so should everyone else around him. Please be extra careful or else you could break it right off...seriously. I  mean this. SO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF! NO CONTACT with rough playing games. PLEASE!!! GOOD LUCK!!

I urge you in the strongest possible terms to have your symptoms investigated immediately.  I think the emergency room would be appropriate.\n\nYour kids need you, and you need your heart.  \n\nIf your problem is not a heart problem, well, great.  That will be good to know.  But please don't delay getting help.  Chest pain is not something to ignore.

Costochondritis is an inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join with the cartilage that holds them to the breastbone or sternum. The condition causes localized chest pain that you can reproduce by pushing on the cartilage in the front of your ribcage. Costochondritis is a relatively harmless condition and usually goes away without treatment. The cause is usually unknown. Treatment involves conservative local care with careful use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) as needed. Local heat or ice may be helpful to relieve the symptoms. \nAvoid unnecessary exercise or activities that make the symptoms worse. Avoid contact sports until there is improvement in symptoms and then return to normal activities only as tolerated.
