See below: First costochondritis , while painful, is very common , and not dangerous. It is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone- you can have pain with breathing or movement -It often resolves without treatment - it is often treated with NSAIDs If the pain persists , I would see your doctor and get her advice on further treatment.
