Rib Cramps
I was recently diagnosed with COPD, however, before then, I had cramping in my ribs from time to time over the past 4 or 5 years. It felt like the fat around my ribs got stuck in between the ribs. I remember my Mom complaining of the same thing, though she didn't have COPD, or maybe she did and just wasn't diagnosed. I read where medications cause this, but I've just recently started taking them. Just thought I'd share that, as I realize this is just being sorted out.
One other thing, when they had me do the lung function testing that resulted in my COPD diagnosis, I was sooo sick with a triple bacterial infection and bronchitis, that I'm even wondering if the result is wrong. I would like to do another test, as I am all cleared up, no more cough, phlegm, etc. They also said adult onset asthma, which could be true, as I have allergies.
