Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Dr. Rynne...I am a 61 year old female in relatively good health, a little overweight, and about 2 hours ago I started having a pain in my chest....not in my heart area. It feels like I got punched and is located on the right side of my chest, mid-sternum. If i press on the area it is very tender. I have had no injuries there and am wondering if it could be a pulled rib or muscle. It hurts to bend over and take a deep breath. It started as I was driving home tonight. What do you think
