Does anyones chest ever hurt? not alot or anything dramatic.. just a little..sometimes?
Yes, i was having recurring chest pain and my doctor diagnosed me with a condition called Costochondritis. Costochondritis is defined as an inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join with the cartilage that holds them to the breastbone or sternum which causes localized chest pain. The cause is usually unknown but if you google this diagnosis you will find some possible causes.
I have had occasional chest pain for a few years, but recently it has become worse (within the last week to few weeks). Yesterday was the worst day I have had. My pain was usually up high or on the sides, yesterday I had strong pains in the middle of my chest in addition to everywhere else.
Is this common for Chiari or is it typically something else?
I’m not sure…I know chest pain is a symptom… But if its that bad you need to tell your doctOr…

I have talked to my primary doctor and they are convinced that it is due to high blood pressure I am having (which they think is due to a prescription I am taking, so I am stopping that).
Is high blood pressure a symptom of Chiari that anyone knows?
Thank you!
