Chest Pain - Musculoskeletal
Musculoskeletal chest pain is atypical and can be quite different from the life- threatening chest pains that are associated with heart problems. It is caused by pain in the cartilage and muscles of the rib cage and in the ribs. It recurs with exertion or pressure to that area.
The causes of musculoskeletal chest pain are mainly:
- Injury due to coughing
- Trauma to the chest area
- Tietze syndrome- a condition where there is inflammation to the rib cartilage. Here the 2nd rib from the top is usually affected
- Costochondritis- condition causing inflammation of cartilage and bones
- Sternalis syndrome- rare condition characterized with tenderness over the sternum
- Xiphoidalgia- a rare syndrome characterized by pain in the xiphoid process
- Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis – Athropathy involving anterior chest wall
- Fibromyalgia- condition caused by chronic body pain
- Lower rib pain syndromes(5✔ ✔Trusted Source

Hi. For my mother 53 years old, we have already consulted a cardiologist 2 years ago. Did echo test, treadmill test, ECG, all reports normal. Cardiologist diagnosed PSVT and given DILZEM-SR to take daily one tablet. Palpitation of heart stopped with that, but chest pain on left side is severe, feel too much heaviness in the chest while sleeping or lying down. Which specialist we should visit? Kindly advise.
I have been having pains in my left chest for over a year now and have not seen a doctor to complain!I am afraid of this!I have stopped smoking for two years now but still drinks
I have sudden sharp pain in my chest and then it goes away. It doesn't happen every day and it isn't associated with any other symptom. I plan to tell my doctor at my next visit, but he'll send me to the same old cardiologist who makes me feel like a waste of time.
it could be Precordial Catch Syndrome research it or angina
