What Causes Sudden Intermittent Pain In The Mid-breast Area?

Hi. A couple of months ago and then today I was quickly overcome with pain right in the middle of my body, between my breasts, and about an inch down. At first I thought it was my bra digging into be. Then I couldn t get comfortable whether I stood up, sat down, or was lying down. I couldn t talk, I could only whisper. I threw up and after about 10 minutes felt relief. Now that it s happened twice I am concerned. It came on so quickly and was so painful. I hadn t felt pain like that since I had my children. Both times I had eaten about an hour before. what s going on?

Hello,

It could be a simple musculoskeletal pain.

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated to rule out possible causes like costochondritis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
