Guest guest Posted March 16, 1999 Report Share Posted March 16, 1999 FYI I had chest pains or cramps. I was told it was a muscle cramp in my ribcage and not my heart. Only later they gave me an EKG and told me that I had a right bundle branch block from a heart attack. Many times this kind of pain is the result of esophageal twist or hernia. This can really hurt a bunch. Many women get them after child birth. During child birth the lady's insides really get a working over. This can leave some things twisted.
