Costochondritis: In your age group the most common cause would be viral inflammation of the Cartlidge in the rib cage. It is very common and can cause a very severe and sharp pain. Is the area tender when you push on it as well as painful when you breathe? Treatment would include Motrin and application of ice pack.

I'm short of breath just from going up the stairs, ecg, d dimer, and chest x ray all come back normal! Could it be a blood clot still or could it be due to changing my pill?
