Chest pain when pushing up chest

In life, we may occasionally feel a clicking sound in our chest when we straighten our chest. This is caused by long periods of sitting and lack of activity. When we stand up and listen, we may feel a clicking sound in our sternum. This is a symptom of the activity of the sternal joint. This is a normal phenomenon and there is nothing serious to worry about. You should pay attention to the combination of work and rest in your daily life. However, some people experience pain when they straighten their chest, and even slightly pulling their chest can cause pain. What is going on?

To sum up, there may be many possibilities of inflammation of the sternal manubrium, xiphoid process or pleurisy. It is recommended to first check whether there is a lung infection, pleurisy, tuberculosis, or pneumothorax. In addition, consider whether there is the possibility of intercostal neuritis or costochondritis. Sometimes, you should also pay attention to the fact that gastrointestinal ulcers and pancreatic diseases may also cause this phenomenon. Also pay attention to check whether there are any problems with liver and gallbladder B-ultrasound and liver function. Do an electrocardiogram to check if there is any possibility of myocardial ischemia.

If no abnormalities are found after examination, it can be said that it is related to chest muscle damage caused by abnormal posture or exercise in daily life. Paying attention to daily posture and amount of exercise can slowly recover. It has little to do with other diseases. The correct standing posture should be that the whole body starts from the soles of the feet and slightly lifts up, with the abdomen tucked in and the chest straightened; the shoulders are spread out and slightly stretched backwards; the hands are slightly brought together and naturally drooped; the lower jaw is slightly tightened, the eyes are looking straight ahead, the lower back is tightened, the pelvis is lifted, the leg muscles are tightened, and the inner knees are clamped to keep the spine in a normal physiological curve.
