I have a cramp under my left breast above my rib cage?!
Question: I only feel this cramp when I tilt my head downward. It has been there for 3 days. If I am not moving my head I don't feel it but when I tilt my head down in such a motion of tying shoes or looking at the ground I feel it It almost feels like I pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve. I have finals right now so I have no time to see a doctor and also don't really want to spend 500 bucks for him to tell me to just stay patient and it will go away, but I want to know what it is! Please help!

Just make sure that you don't have any radiating pain down your left arm of jaw pains. This is a sign of a heart attack. But it sounds like that's not what the problem is. You could be very right. Try putting a hot pack on it and see if that relieves the pain for a while. If it's just a sprain or strain then that should help at least a little! Good luck and good luck on finals!
