Rib pain is associated with some types of anxiety more than others. While anyone can have some type of pain in their rib related to their anxiety, those with anxiety attacks and other symptoms of breathing issues related to anxiety may be more prone to that type of pain.
After injury to the chest -- or particularly forceful coughing -- consider the possibility of a broken rib if the patient has any of the following: 1  Extreme pain when taking a breath. 2  Tenderness to the chest or back over an area of ribs. 3  Crepitus -- a crunchy feeling under the skin.
