What Causes Pain In Ribs While Breathing And Sharp Pain Under Breast?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I am a woman...63 years of age. Yesterday I had pain every time I took a breath across my back at the top of my ribs. After going to bed, I woke up and was experiencing sharp pain under my left breast and up into my left should and neck. About a month ago my doctor told me...after an ECG...that my heart muscle was stressed and "not letting go" on the pump. I have been taking Hawthorne Extract for this condition.
