Costochondritis treatment

Had a phone appointment with my gp yesterday , recent tests have ruled out cardiac causes so I have to do two weeks of peak flow tests as I get a very tight chest with increased heart rate walking uphill and send the results to her , she said it could be linked to my costochondritis . Has anyone had this problem ? My reading yesterday was 300/350 and today is 250/310 .I’m being started on amitriptyline and being referred for physio.
