Answers:
It could be Costochondritis which is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects the inner end of each rib with the breastbone (sternum)!.

It can occur in any age group and is most common in young adults!. It is a benign condition usually of short duration that resolves completely!. Sometimes though it can recur or become persistent!.

The predominant symptom is a sharp pain in the affected area, most commonly involving the second or third ribs, which are often very tender to touch!.

The pain is usually related to movement, coughing and sneezing and can occur in more than one place simultaneously!.

Pain can also radiate into the arm and can be associated with a feeling of tightness in the chest!. These are also the symptoms of a heart attack, so it is always necessary to take them seriously and make the diagnosis of costochondritis with care!.

Costochondritis can be treated with Tylenol or aspirin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
