What Can Cause Inflamed Chest Wall?
my son is 13 and was just released from an overnight stay in the hospital where they told me that his chest wall is inflamed. they prescribed ibuprophin (advil) and gave him the okay to go back to school. today when i went there to check in on him he said that he had a dizzy spell where he lost his vision. at the hospital they did a battery of tests on the heart (xray, ekg s, blood tests, echo) and everything came out looking good. i m very concerned...what do you think this could be?

our chest wall is made up of the ribs, muscles and its surrounding coverings like fascia etc. Inflammation any where in these structures can give rise to chest pain. commonly it can be called muscle soreness, which can be a feature of infections or over exercising of a specific muscle.So if that's inflammation of chest wall due to these causes it gets relieved by analgesics and rest
