Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Ribs While Breathing

For almost 2 weeks I have had severe soreness of my right center ribcage when I breathe and move. It is not tender to touch at all. I m 24, generally very healthy, do light workouts , I m 5 7 and 120 lbs. I do have severe chest pains on occasion where I have to literally collapse, take tiny breaths and wait for it to pass, that happens maybe once every month to every couple months.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the symptoms you have given here I would to suggest to get done the CT of brain it is just to rule out the cerebral pathology along with this it is advisable to get done the EKG too, although it seems to be functional one but better to rule out the systemic disease hope this information helps.
