@vivsterb I read your symptoms. I am 85 and about 2 months ago started having similar symptoms. Discomfort along my breastbone when I exert myself. sometimes at the collar bone and sometimes lower. I am aware of it when I breathe. And I start coughing. Not life threatning as far as I know, but irritating. I went to my PCP this week and he listend to my heart and lungs and said there didn't seem to be anything irregular. But he is sending me for a stress test, I guess just in case. You mentioned you have Costochondritis. I am not familiar with that. My Dr. didn't even mention it. I will certainly look into it. Thanks for your post.

Hi. I'm 64 and this has been a pain that is more annoying now to me, than often occurring. But, I'm glad it does not strike me so often now.
It is a good idea to go to the cardiologist for a stress test. I had one too, all was good.
But, you sound like you have Costochondritis. Please try and go to a Rheumatologist too. If I am guessing correctly, you will be diagnosed there correctly. There are great anti inflammatory meds a Dr. can prescribe. After all is done, please post back and let me know what was diagnosed.
Take care
