Costochondritis is actually inflammation of the cartilage between your ribs. It results in pain that can be reproduced by touching the area that is inflamed, Your symptoms could be related to this; it could also be due to a muscle strain of the chest wall or even rib pain. The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor for a physical exam. Treatment can then be rendered. Good luck!
