Chest/rib cage discomfort

Posted , 17 users are following.

Hello all- has anyone had chest heaviness, more upon waking up, and very sore ribs especially in the back? It’s kind of achy when I try to take a deep breath...no real cough or wheezing. Nothing has helped so far, I try To stretch my back out a lot and sometimes use a heating pad...of course add that to being soooooo tired all the time and I get paranoid I have lung cancer...I am 47, in good health generally but have really been suffering from perimenopause symptoms the last year or so..blood work 2 months ago showed that everything was fine, no infection, anemia or anything weird popping up, it’s just making me crazy how I feel right now. just looking to see if anyone had this same type of chest rib cage discomfort. Have a good day all❤

    I get what I call Achy Left Side from neck to hip off and on but this ache in my ribs/back is new. It's only on my left side. Thought I pulled something but don't think I did. I am SO thankful for you all - I'd be worried sick otherwise. What's the longest your rib aches last?
