What causes pain in breast bone and under my rib cage?
Patient: i have had sharp pains through my breast bone. hard to breathe, pain just under my rib cage right where my stomach starts. doctor told me it sounds like heart burn but i have never felt heart burn like this. i am a 24 year old female. i have been having this issue for almost a year now Doctor: In the case you need to atleast undergo a chest x ray to rule out any underlying lung pathologies. Also do a breast examination to look for any lump.
