My general practitioner believes I have this - Costochondritis

Which is causing my chest pain which triggers my anxiety and eventual panic attack. Anyone else have this how do you relieve some of the pain?

[Chris]

Yes, for years on/off. I just take an anti-inflammatory and use ice packs on my chest. It sucks bc you think it’s something it’s not and that amps up anxiety which makes it worse. Terrible cycle but once you realize it’s not life-threatening, that makes it easier.

I sometimes take it but most of the time I take my Ativan and it works.

I have this. They say to take some medicines like Aleve and Ibuprofen to help.

Yes it comes and goes. When the pain is familiar to me and I know it's not harmful I simply ignore. If it gets too bad I take four baby aspirin and I'm good.
