Chest Pain Coming Down To Ribs, Difficulty In Breathing When Sitting. What Is Wrong?
Hi my names vili and i play professional sport and i've been having a problem with chest pain and its been for more than three years now and i've been to hospital so many times and does include Mri, X-ray blood test etc they said its maybe Its just stress or food poisoning because i was vomiting at the time straight after i eat and become when i'm full my chest hurts. Now thats gone and its been sort of different source of pain like sometimes a sharp one and sometimes just pain. Now its coming down to just under my left chest ribs pain and i have been struggling at breathing at training and it gets very uncomeftable when i sit down i have to sit up straight and different positions so i'm asking for your help if anyone can tell me whats wrong

Localised tender spots on the chest have been known to occur following trauma ,due to musculoskeletal strain,connective tissue disorders like arthritis or lupus, due to anxiety and stress.Ruling out any lung/cardiac causes of the pain are imperative as also any is other systemic causes of this like GERD/muscle spasm/muscle tear or strain/fascial pain/rib strain.If muscle relaxants,analgesics and physiotherapy do not help,psychosomatic causation of the problem may need to be assessed by a mental health specialist.
