Typically how long does it last

Heartburn that is? Can you have those sharp, stabbing pains (that are bad and then not as bad to bad again) for hours? Could it be possible to have pain, esp. when you breathe in, for 4 to 5 hours?

hi again, lol, really sounds like rib spasms to me. I would really look into that. I have this and yes, I can have it when I breath in for up to that long, I've had it for a few days now. Once I only had the ability to get very little air in and out for 10 mins. I thought I was going to pass out from lack of oxygen lol. Anyway, hope you find an answer. Take care
