Sharp, stabbing pain in right chest cavity?

Question

I've been experiencing a sharp, stabbing pain just to my right of the middle of my chest. Almost feels like a pulled muscle. Comes and goes for about the last 1-1.5 years. Starts despite my activies. Can be simply walking or sitting still watching tv. Is not anxiety-related.

Answer 1

This happens to me quite a bit, too.  I think my ribs move a tiny little bit in relation to where they attach to my sternum, so there's a little bit of stress on them.  I just wiggle and stretch my shoulders around until my ribs pop back into place.

Answer 2

i get that too, i've gone through it my whole life.

it's most likely the tissue in between your ribs inflaming for a little bit. it's nothing serious. it SUCKS but i really don't think there's anything you can do about it :/

Answer 3

I just woke up with this problem 2 days ago..It feels like h**l when it starts up. I cant move, strecth or even burp without this stabbing pain. One of my symptoms is breathing very heavily at a slow pace or skipping breaths at a fast pace.

I am a bit worried.
