Costocondritis?: This could be simply what is fondly referred to a 'growing pains,' BUT its important to make sure something this is not something serious. In order to rule out serious respiratory and cardiovascular problems among even rarer serious problems, go to the doctor or nearest ER as soon as possible and have it checked out with a good history and physical exam, EKG, and chest xray, and bloodwork, be safe
