I work out with a traing 3 days a week. I did a hard exercise on tuesday 1 week. I have chest soreness at top of rib cage very tender and my chest wall is tender no pain just tender; and constant soreness and it is hard for me to swallow foods and liquids. I do not have any fever no acid reflux that i know of no gas no stomach ache no sore throat ...could this be a hernia
Sometimes when a big effort or a strong exercise is done the muscles of the rib cage might strengthen a lot and this may cause a strong chest pain. It is needed to reduce of the effort after this situation and some painkillers. The pain will be softer some days after. I don't think that is a hernia. Thank you Chat Doctor.
