Removed dairy from my diet for two weeks (upon Doctor’s recommendation as an experiment- no improvement). Things I’ve tried- apple cider vinegar tonics (lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger) twice a day for about two weeks now without improvement.Recently, lots of apple sauce, crackers, soup, cream of wheat, turkey burgers, black beans, eggs, toast, potatoes, apple juice, etc. No soda, coffee, alcohol, never smoked or used recreational drugs. Diet is decent, not enough vegetables and fruits, likely.No known allergies, no history of any chronic medical conditions in family or otherwise.
I had thought it was maybe GERD but GI doctor recently stated he does not think this is a GI issue. Hello everyone! I could really use some more opinions on what I have been experiencing because all my tests keep coming back normal, but have not seen any improvements in my day to day life for 6 months. However, some physicians view costochondritis and Tietze's syndrome as separate disease states due to the absence of costal cartilage swelling in costochondritis. Severe cases of costal cartilage inflammation that also involve painful swelling are sometimes referred to as Tietze's syndrome, a term sometimes used interchangeably with costochondritis. Unexplained chest pain is considered a medical emergency until life-threatening cardiac issues can be ruled out. Individuals with costochondritis are typically instructed to avoid strenuous physical activity to prevent the onset of an attack.Ĭostochondritis symptoms can be similar to the chest pain associated with a heart attack. Cases with intractable discomfort may be managed with cortisone injections or surgery may be indicated if the condition is severe. Treatment options are quite limited and usually involve a combination of rest, analgesics, or anti-inflammatory medications. Though costochondritis often resolves on its own, it can be a recurring condition that can appear to have little or no signs of onset. The condition is a common cause of chest pain.
