What Causes Pressure On Right Side Of Rib Cage And Chest?
I have pressure on the right side of my lower rib cage under the pectoral muscle and right side of the chest and goes straight through to my back on the right side too. What could this be? I get this pressure off and on now for a cpl of weeks. My sugar is fine, my cholesteral is fine, and my liver panel was ok. I also had a ekg that was normal. I've now see a chiropractor 4 times now and he says it is a subluxation in the vertabrae....please help
