Same here. I have a pressure,around my lower rib cage, the base of my sternum and my lungs feel compressed. The doc's thought it was related to my COPD but I feel it's something else. This pressure is below the lungs, like something pushing up into them. So I will have more CT scans of Chest/Abdomen this coming week. I have GERD and have had Esphogeal Fungal Infections from Inhalers and I have had bleeding ulcers... so who knows. Keep me posted as well please.View Thread
