Sickle cell anemia could cause chest pain by several mechanisms . The negative chest X-ray excludes the potentially lethal pulmonary crisis . Not all Sickle cell anemias are as severe either. Is bone ( rib) pain due to mild Sickle anemia crisis happening? No risk factors for pulmonary embolism or premature coronary artery are given , although Sickle cell crisis could effect heart & lungs . Three day survival is good news .
