Possibly gallstones? Especially if it comes and goes in cycles of about a couple of weeks You need to go back to your GP and have blood tests.

Hi there
Does it hurt when you breathe in/out or maybe when you lift your arm? Do you feel pain in the spine at the top on the right?
As the pain is aggravated by movement the likelihood is that it is mechanical (that is muscles, ligaments and joints) in nature. Sometimes ribs can get very slightly out of alignment which can give a localised pain over the rib joints (front, back or both) which can be exacerbated by movement. Not serious just painful.
Maybe try local osteopath and see what they have to say. For local osteopath go to www.osteopathy.org.uk
All the best

I know this is silly but is it a belt of wind? What makes you and your doctor say it is not a heart attack. Have you had it checked out at hospital on an ECG machine. I suspect you have not consulted a doctor and suggest you do so like yesterday

it could be gall stones- however a dr, would probably check for that- it also could be what I have - costochrondritis- (sp)- it is an inflammation between the ribs- which can last for days or months- and then leave and come back again- fibromyalgia and costochrondritis, can mask themselves as heart attacks. I am having an attack of this myself this week- I have Fibromyalgia and costo- is one of the symptoms however you can have costo with fibro

Well i have experienced some pain exactly where you described but how severe is yours I'm not sure? What i discovered was that every time my period is about to come I get this pain .So I'm thinking it's associated with my period,and also the under wire bras that I wore had something to do with it.Do you wear under wire bras?

could be
*chest infection
*acid reflux
*broken rib
I had a chest infection and it felt like something would move around in my chest and hurt...I was convinced something was broken. Antibiotics made it go away. It still comes back sometimes, though, and I have to take them again...it's been 10 years.
