Pains in my chest area?

Question

Well it's not so much pain as it is pressure, so it is uncomfortable and it hurts only slightly. Its starts right under my breast bone, continues under my ribs and then onto my back. My back muscles just feel like they are clenched. I've looked up my symptoms on web md and it said that it could be related to Fibromyalgia, which I have. But I still don't know. I've been diagnosed for about 9 months so far, and my dr. said I prolly have had it long before now. Because I went to a chriopractor for three years before I went to her. But I've never had this before. Can you please help me? I'm getting a little worried.

Answer 1

It's possible that this could be related to the fibromyalgia, but there's another thing that could be causing it as well.  The other thing it could be is a condition called costochondritis which is an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage area (an example only).

Costochondritis is also common in those who have fibromyalgia (I also have fibromyalgia but mine is quiet right now).
