Hi peeps
Okay all day yesterday i was getting a pressure feeling in my sternum (breastbone where a bra would lie) almost like something was stuck there and i couldn't straighten up properly & into my back....I had a full blown panic attack thinking i was having a heart attack. I eventually calmed down & when i woke this am i decided to go get it checked as i would just stress about it otherwise.
He did an examination & when he pressed on my chest i yelped & he went on to check my tummy which was fine. He thinks i have costochondritis!!!
However if it continued come back just to rule out an ulcer/hiatus hernia etc...he felt an ECG wasn't necessary despite me thinking it was haha.
I Googled this as i had never heard of it & it does fit however i have no rib pain. I was just wondering if any of you have had this & does it sound similar???
Grrrr its very stressful & worrying.
