Does anyone has problems when they breathe it hurts? It feels like it's in their lungs and also has bad pains in their chest. It feels like you have chest infections.

I have had chest pain for months now..it actually started 2 yrs ago. I had phemonia..been getting it every year. I stopped smoking stopped drinking caffeine..thought I was always having a heart attack. It goes in to my back and my ribs feel like they r going up into my breast..I've had xrays. The pain just never goes away..it feels so tight and heavy..I've been back to hospital/dr. So many times. I have got no answers..This has caused depression for me..hope urs has got better!

I have had that problem for a while. Was diagnosed with Costeocondritis, (inflammation of cartilage surrounding heart) plus I am now experiencing hyper-tension and doctor has issued medication. I believe the pain throughout my body encourages hyper-tension diagnosis.

I haven't had the chest pains since I added mucinex 300 mg twice a day. The mucinex has also opened my ear canals and cleared my nasal passages up. It's not a cure all so far, but I'm on my 4th week of taking it and little by little my symptoms have eased up.
