A member asked:
Can chistocondrities cause your esophugus to hurt or cause upset stomach ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Costochondritis is an inflammation of the joints between the sternum(breastbone) and the ribs. The area is generally tender to the touch And should have no effect on the esophagus. Any nausea could be secondary to pain or from pain medication.
