Can costochondritis cause trouble breathing? feel like i can't get a deep breath yawn a lot but the feeling of i can't breathe comes and goes

Costochondritis: As a thoracic surgeon, I can tell you that costochondritis can be very painful. It is important to exclude other cause of pain in the chest. The thing that helps this diagnosis is that touching or palpating that part of the chest wall hurts.
