upper right chest spasms

[BINAGIRL]

For the last few days I have had discomfort in my right chest area. A couple of times I got a sharp spasm which almost felt like a jolt of electricity giving me actual chills.  My back is also achy and i feel a burning sensation throughout my chest. Intermitently i am feeling small spasms in the chest area and I am thinking thats why I am feeling sore.  I don't believe that its cardiac related since it is on my right side that I am feeling the spasms, but I want to make sure. I have a doctors appt scheduled soon but I was hoping for some light to be shed as to what this feeling could be???
It occurs at rest and also upon exertion.
Thanks so much!!!

I totally get the costochrondritis pain!  I have occasional flair-ups and it really hurts.   Advil and a heating pad sometimes help with the spasms.  I'm not sure if what you are describing is costo or not, but have you tried Ibuprofen, Tylenol and/or a heating pad?  Maybe that would help until you see your doctor.

Congrats on quitting smoking and on the rave review!!
