Yes. Dr said I was surely over using my muscles. I said nope def not and he shrugged me off. Later I realized the reason it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest all the time is that I had asthma (confirmed when I walked into my dads second and third-hand smoke-filled house and immediately had an asthma attack). Later realized it was also from anxiety and panic attacks (stress levels). However now I think its also related to allergies, pollen, and mild food sensitivities. But there can be so many reasons for what you're experiencing I agree with everyone on here that you should get it checked out.

Probably costocontritis which gives pain all over rib cage. I get it really bad sometimes in my breast bone. But get checked out to be safe.

Go get checked out as could be something other than fibro could be a sign your heart muscles are over working or acid reflux along those lines better to be safe than sorry. I do get these pains sometimes it's hard to tell whether it's my heart or fibro 🤗 sending hugs x

I have soreness in my rib cage and chest area but no crushing pain. Something else is going on and you should see your doc right away! For Fibro I have more pain where any tissue attaches to bone.
