No, the characteristics of your pain are not consistent with costochondritis.

Can be referred pain from very cold water (or hot) in esophagus or stomach. Keep diary to see if you can identify what it is you eat that is causing it.

This is unlikely to be costochondritir. Are you taking a statin? Also check Vit D to rule out Vit d deficiency
