Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain and soreness in ribs while suffering from Parkinson s disease . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like muscle strain , myofascial pain , chest infection , acid reflux and lift something too heavy . It can also sometimes occur due to cardiac condition like angina . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination and rule out serious condition like angina . Doctor may order ECG, TMT along with complete blood profile and troponin t test . I to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe isosorbide dinitrate , beta blockers , furosemide , sedative and aspirin . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for parkinson's if there will be broken rib or muscle . For now continue taking advil , stay calm , do not exert you body and apply warm compresses to back .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
