Has anyone mentioned costochronditis? I was diagnosed with it and the docs- lung, cardiologist and rheumatologist all said the tightness, pain and swelling could be symptoms of it. The cardiologist said to press the center right side of my chest and if there is pain, it probably is costochronditis. My major symptom is a "tight band" around my chest. Unfortunately, they all said it would go away on its own but it's been 5 years and I still have it. Have any of your doctors said to try NSAIDs like meloxicam? Good luck
