I probably have Costochondritis/ Tietze

Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I have been having this strange chest pain which is significant when lying down, breathing deeply or exercising for the past 1 month. I took muscle relaxants for 3 days and it reduced, but now has returned. It is not unbearable, but very uncomfortable - and constricting when I try to take a deep breath.
