Costochondritis

Costochondritis is the inflammation occurring at the junction of your ribs and the breastbone in the centre of your chest. This condition can lead to sharp chest pain, particularly when you move or breathe deeply. Fortunately, it typically improves on its own over time. You may experience intense pain in the front or side of your chest. It's crucial to have any chest pain evaluated to exclude more serious health issues.
