On And Off Tightness In Chest Below Nipple While Sitting, Feeling Of Something Logged In Chest And Mid To Lower Back. Ideas?
Tightness under right rib cage about 3-4 inches below nipple. I notice this tightness more while stationary, sitting in the car etc. there are no other symptoms I know of and I am not sure what makes it worse or better. Some days it s hardly there, even gone. other days it s annoying as heck. There is no pain to speak of just a tight ball/band or feeling like something is logged in there? 35 y male used to play pro hockey so in good shape. Can sometimes feel it in mid to lower back on right side as well. I noticed this about 2-3 months ago and about the time I m fed up with it and ready to head to doctor it will subside for a few days.
