Interesting and helpful. I've felt like I can't take a deep breath for a couple of weeks now. I just saw my primary yesterday and she verified that it's nothing with my lungs but the feeling persists, and only on the left side of my chest. I didn't strain any muscle because with this PMR I can't do any lifting or strenuous activity.

It may be possible to have costocronditis (sp??) without straining yourself since it is an inflammation. You should check it out. I can’t remember if my episode was one sided…. I think it may have been.
Hope you get to the bottom of it. Doctor ordered a chest xray to rule out lung issues.

@kjoed53 Saw my rheumatologist today and she doesn’t think it’s pmr or costochondritis, although my inflammation markers are high again. Going back up to 5 mg/day and having chest x-rays done to be followed with appt with my primary.Would love to get some answers.
