Hello I don’t know what it is, but every so often I will get a achy pain feeling in center of chest when I either bend down, cough, take deep breath, move in different position or press off the chair to get out it hurts, like I said in the past I’ve never had this but since my two afib episodes on beta blocker, aspirin, lexapro it comes and goes, I just had a cardio doc appt I told him but never said anything about it, some tell me it’s muscle sprain but it’s happen few times, I do janitor work at my job but like I said never had this until my afib episodes, if anybody can help please do thank you.
Ps could magnesium help this?

If your doctor has ruled out heart issues, it could be costochondritis (rib/cartilage inflammation) or even GERD (reflux), or a muscle strain. With costochondritis, you can sometimes duplicate the pain by pressing into the area where you're feeling it. I get costochondritis from time to time and at first thought it might be a heart attack. Not sure why it started happening after your afib episodes. Did they electro cardiovert you by any chance? My chest hurt for a week or two after that. If it doesn't go away, at some point you may want to get a second opinion.

My chest often feels sore and I get sharp pains and if I press between my sternum it feels bruised. It is inflammation so don't worry. Heart pain doesn't just come and go.
