I had flu for a couple weeks, then after that alot of coughing and sinus infection. I was on two rounds of antibiotics and which cleared up sinus infection but still coughing some. About 3 weeks ago when I was coughing alot I started getting a sharp pain to the right (non heart side) of my sternum. It is now worse and in the same spot, under my right arm, and behing my right sholder blade. Not sure if it matters or not but I am 32 years old and had Ravitch Procedure done 4 years ago to fix pectus. Any opinions?
Hello, Your symptoms could be related to a twisted muscle or local inflammation (Costco Chat Doctor.  For this reason, if the pain persists, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam, a chest X-ray study and inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). Taking ibuprofen for a week can help improve your situation. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
