Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling sensation and pain in the rib cage. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle spasm , chest infection , acid reflux and heart problem like angina . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out more serious condition first . Doctor may order ECG , TMT , troponin t test and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe isosorbide nitrate , aspirin along with diuretic and sedative . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for muscle problem or gastroenterologist for acid reflux . For now apply warm compresses and eat light and non spicy specially at night .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
