Is Pain In The Rib Cage, A Consequence Of Asthma?
Hi, I have asthma and am using an inhaler twice daily and also taking singulair tablets every night. For the last few weeks I have been having pains under my rib cage - more in the middle. Is this likely to be connected to my asthma? I have to take paracetamol almost daily for it. Thanks, Carmel

asthmatic inhalers contain steroids which lead to weight gain, weakness, cussing like symptoms not muscle pain. this is muscle pain or chondritis.
