I am experiencing chest pain right now more concentrated over my back - any movement or even hiccup is painful -- or if i bend forward from the vertical is painful - I have had asthma all my life - this pain does not seem to be muscular in origin or related to ribs or bones -- feels like it comes from within the chest wall ?
