Hi, costochondritis may be one to check out. But I would suggest you make an appointment to see your GP. I hope the pain eases soon.

Hey I'm booking an appointment first thing as normally my breathing goes back to normal after a while as for the pain its constant and daily there no escape

[Sleepyhead_ in reply to Dizzytwo]

And costocondritis I was told I had years ago I only get that in my left ribs

Also sounds like anxiety and panic attack. My first symptom of anxiety as young person was chest pain, the doctors said they could give me a chest xray but it most likely wouldn't show anything. As the years went by it became more obvious it was anxiety, and while I still have panic attacks and they do effect my breathing,they don't cause chest pain anymore.

Hi SleepyheadI hope you got an appointment to have someone look at your breathing. I have found my chest wall pain gets worst or seems worst when I have more stress. My posture gets more curled up and I have to think about posture.

I would ring 111 if you don't have relief in your breathing soon.

Take care

Hi - It sounds like anxiety to me... as you are worried about your chest pain. x

Its covid well at least explains why it had gone worse

hi Sleepyhead. Do you have a bad cough asthma or COPD. I have what you’ve got constantly day and night turns out it’s pain in the chest wall which protects the lungs. I rub ibuprofen on my chest breasts and back before going to bed. Hope this helps.
