Suggest Treatment For Pressure In The Ribs
I have been having a tightening around my rib cage that starts like a muscle spasm and increases in strength so much that I have to deliberately try to relax for the spasm to dissipate. It last around 30 seconds. This started about 2 months ago and happens every now then. I am 69 yrs old and I do have a sciatica, lower back problem.

Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that most lol your pain looks non cardiac but considering your age you should get a basic cardiac evaluation done which includes ecg and echocardiography done and consult a physician with reports.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
