Well, I woke up yesterday, and the right side of my chest was sore, didn't think much of it, figured I slept wrong. Well, today it hurt worse, hurt to breath, and when out to get my tux for a wedding I'm in this weeked. While going down the road, it was getting harder for me to breath, so since my Doc's office was right there, I figured it would be a good idea to stop & find out what was up.
Turned out to be Costochondritis.
Quote:
Costochondritis is a condition that causes chest pain due to inflammation of the cartilage and bones in the chest wall. Also called Tietze's Syndrome, costochondritis occurs when there is inflammation at the junction of the rib bone and breastbone (sternum). At this junction, there is cartilage joining these bones. This cartilage can become irritated and inflamed. Depending on the extent of the inflammation, costochondritis can be quite painful.
