Costochondritis
I was having chest pain after covid recovery in may. It was okay after some time then it started again.
Ecg was normal one time and after 3 months it showed irregular heartbeat only.
Every test is normal
So doctor said it might be costochondritis, as pain is in upper rib area and it's very sharp.
I woke up last night abruptly and palpitations were so high.
One of the doctors I know suggested the following medications
Thiospas 4 mg
Tramadol
And dexa 4 mg for 3 days and then tapered slowly.
I took steroids while covid treatment for around 9 days and now I'm scared of taking steroids.
Should I take them?
Please tell asap
