Could Sudden Sharp Pain In The Chest, Rib Area Be Just Strained Muscle Or Something Serious?
Hello, I have a sharp pain in my left chest/rib area. It s comes on when I m sedentary so is not related to movement. It jabs away at me. I ve mentioned it to my doctor several times but all he says is its probably a muscle or a strain. I am quite a lazy person so don t ever exert myself physically. Have you any idea what it is?
