[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 697828, member: 1963"] Sounds like it could be costochondritis. Does she have pain on pressure along where the ribs join the breastbone? Especially the lower ribs which are cartilage for a bit before they join the breastbone. There is also a similar condition in which the tissues lining the sternum become inflamed. Another one is pleurisy, which can be caused by connective tissue disorders, but sufferers of that are usually (very) aware of a creaking or rubbing sensation, which is the tissue surrounding the lungs rubbing against the tissue lining the chest cavity. I'd get her seen by a doctor asap. Not because I think she's deathly ill, but because the issues she is experiencing could be signs of more serious illnesses that should be gotten on top of right away. [/QUOTE]
