I had a heart attack 10 years ago. I am 62 years old I quit smoking after my heart attack. I have diebets type 2 and high blood pursure i take meds for that my blood pursure and diebets are under control with the meds i take. two days ago I Had sorness and mild pain in my right rib next to my sternum. I went to er to check it out they did a ekg and blood work and chest x ray. everthing came out normal. the dr in er said i have costochondritis. he said to see my primary dr in two days and to see a heart dr in one week. He said that because i have have a heart attack in the past. he said that these systums can be a sign of a heart attack. he said to let these drs.know i have been in er for this reason. im am useing ib profun and ice for home treament. I am going to see my primary dr. on wednesday. I was sick two weeks ago with a cold and cough it lasted about ten days or so. i also have been doing exersize walking 30 minitue a day and puting my arms above my head 90 times a day. The dr. in er told me not to exersize because that can make my ribs worse. Can you tell me what treatment would benefit me? and from what i told you is there something i did to cause this problem? also can you tell me can this sorness and pain move from one rib to another?
