Hello 👋

Iv had it to , but not sure if it’s the fibromyalgia or anxiety 🌺

I get costochondritis, it's a sort of heavy, pressing feeling in my chest, very uncomfortable. I put a hot water bottle ( wrapped) on my chest and sit against pillows with another hot bottle on my back. I take a couple of soluble paracetamol and usually find the pain subsides within an hour.

I think if you try this and it helps it's probably costochondritis but maybe you should get your chest/heart checked at the drs just to be on the safe side.

It is a horrible feeling. I thought at first it might be a heart problem but nothing showed up on an ECG, Xray and blood tests. I reckoned that as heat and a couple of painkillers and trying to relax stopped the pain, it couldn't be anything serious and was just fibro throwing something else at me.

Getting it checked will at least put your mind at rest.
