What happens when the ribs below the heart hurt when breathing

The causes of rib pain below the heart during breathing include excessive exercise, myocarditis, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Excessive exercise

If the patient has excessive exercise for a long time, it will lead to chronic strain of the muscles in the chest, and pain will appear around the ribs during breathing.

2. Myocarditis

If the patient has myocarditis, the inflammation will damage the myocardial cells and stimulate the surrounding nerves during the attack, causing severe pain. The pain range is large and will be mistaken for heart pain.

3. Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease

If the patient has coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, it will lead to coronary artery stenosis causing myocardial ischemia, which can cause angina pectoris and pain around the ribs.
