Can LT Paracentral Disc Extrusion Cause Pain In Ribs And Chest?

I currently have a small LT Paracentral disc extrusion with annular tear at T 6-7 and T 7-8. Also minimal disc bulges at T 9-10, t 10-11 with a broad based disc protusion with annular tear at T 11-12. I have trouble with breathing sometimes, or any pressure on my upper stomach just below my diaphram. Can this be a factor in that, aside of course from the pain that radiates from my thoracic to my ribs and chest?

the spinal nerves come from the gap in between the vertebrae.. disc bulges causes compression of the spinal cord and the nerves.. these spinal nerves in the thoracic area will supply your intercontinental muscles so the pain radiating along the course along with the breathing difficulty is due to that. . since its symptomatic therapy is needed for the disc bulges.. would suggest an orthopaedic opinion..
