What Could Cause Chest Pain,painful Hiccup ?

I am experiencing chest pain right now more concentrated over my back - any movement or even hiccup is painful -- or if i bend forward from the vertical is painful - I have had asthma all my life - this pain does not seem to be muscular in origin or related to ribs or bones -- feels like it comes from within the chest wall ?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Pain in the chest may be related to any structure in the chest wall, from the skin inwards.
This would include the skin, the underlying muscles, fat other soft tissue, ribs and sternum, lining of the lung (pleura), lung, heart, esophagus.

If your pain is worse with any movement of the chest wall (including hiccups), then it is possible that it is due to inflammation of soft tissue and muscle.

You may want to consider using an anti inflammatory pain killer such as one of the following: ibuprofen, cataflam, naproxen,

I hope this helps
