What Causes Pain In The Rib Cage And Under The Breasts?

Today I have been having twinges of pain in my rib cage area under each of my breasts. It comes and goes and is not very painful. I took a Roland in case it was gas & I also took a baby aspirin. I have had no previous history with heart issues. Should I be concerned?

Hi,

I would like to tell you that if it is a muscular pain then you can take any over the counter muscle relaxant like Flexon MR.

If you are experiencing symptoms like palpitations or breathless then you can get ECG and Echocardiography done to rule out any heart disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap,
