Teenage Daughter Has Popping In Her Chest Posted: 06-10-04 14:37pm
My 14 year old daughter started
complaining of her chest popping and it
hurting when it did last summer. Took
her to the doctor and she thought it may
have been inflammed muscles on her ribs
that was causing it to pop. She gave her
some anti inflammitory pills and they
seemed to help but she was also not
playing anymore sports at the time. Now
it has started again and thought it was do
to her playing softball again but she is
having the pains even when she is not
playing sports. The doc sent her to the
pediatrician and she wanted to rule out
her asthma. Did a chest xray- came back
fine. She had a ekg and that came back
fine. Today she had a pulmanary test and
that came back fine also. So now what?
It kinda has me a little scared. I dont
know where to do anymore research for
this. Anyone have any information

Popping In Chest Posted: 06-30-04 12:00pm
I have been having a popping feeling in
the right side of my chest.It sometimes
hurts in the front and the back of my
ribs.When I breath in it makes a popping
feeling.Also it pops when I turn my head
to the left sometimes.Some days its not
there and others it is.I have not been to
the doc because I am too afraid.I keep
thinking it might be something I just
don't want to hear.I have to get my
courage up to go I know.This has been
going on since about feb.It also seems to
be worse in the morning sometimes.Anybody
else have these strange symtoms or know
what it may be from?

They ran a couple of tests and some xrays
and all came back great. The only thing
she could come up with is that it was
caused from her playing sports and it
inflames the tissues or muscles or both
around her ribs and joint areas. Its
just something she has to learn to live
with if she is going to continue playing
sports. They gave her some kind of anti
inflamitory pill to take only when it
hurts and otherwise just take ibprofin.

Personally i'd check out some of the
alternative treatments - chiropractors,
naturopaths, acupuncture etc - 14 is young
to start on such meds & also to be on
meds without any real diagnosis - as a
mother that would concern me.
