Tight pinching sensation on the right of sternum?!


Question: Tight pinching sensation on the right of sternum?
There's a tight pinching sensation on the right of my friend's sternum, and we're not sure what to do about it, or why it's there.

Help?

Answers:

There are several possibilities (and it may not be any of them); the ribs may be applying pressure on the lungs, it may be a muscle cramp, or it could be as serious as a heart problem. If the pinching is very discomforting for your friend, I would definitely suggest consulting with a physician. It's much better to be safe than sorry!

Hope I helped!



no one wants to help me (frowny face)

edit:
Thanks Jack, at least someone could help.
