Be Patient: Sounds like you need a "quick fix" Costochondritis can mimic heart attack and it sounds like your Doctor on the right track. Try adding HEAT packs and if this doesn't help COLD packs. The inflammation (in the cartilage joining your ribs to your breastbone) takes a while to subside since its ALWAYS MOVING!!!! Be patient!!!! Hope this helps Dr Z
