Sharp
pain in your chest is nothing to sneeze at. But while ‘heart attack’ or
‘heart disease’ may be the first thoughts that come to mind, there are
other conditions that can be the culprits. Dr. David Muguku, a family
medicine physician on staff at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, discusses
costochondritis—and the resulting pain where your ribs and breastbone
join—and pleurisy—and its sharp, fleeting pain made worse by coughing,
sneezing, moving and deep breathing.
For
more information on costochondritis and pleurisy, or to schedule an
appointment with Dr. Muguku, call Family Medicine Specialists at (337)
480-8900 or visit www.familymedicinespecialistslc.com.
