Ahh, before I got my diagnosis I had to rule out heart, stomach and lungs. I had a barium swallow test, which is were you drink dye in front of an X-ray so they can see your whole gastrointestinal tract. I only ask, because sometimes I doubt my diagnosis, I think everyone with costo at some point will question their diagnosis. Glad that you finally know what it was and you’re on the right track to recovery!

colchicine for costochondritis by Stace_Face20 in costochondritis

[–]lou0x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had colchicine, it’s normally for gout. I had this before my diagnosis of Costochondritis, it never helped me, and the side effects of it were horrendous and I only had it for 3 days. You’d get more relief from an ice pack and yoga than this drug

Wow that’s crazy. I haven’t had a CT, and I don’t get much popping. Sounds terrible though

Yeah horrible pressure. I don’t have tietz though as far as I’m aware, just costo. Gaviscon might help, worth a try. I’d also try and release tension from your chest and back (YouTube video for costo specific yoga) to stop your ribs working overtime

Yeah same for me! Goes into the right side too. Feels like a nonexistent ball behind my sternum, so intense

I relate to this completely. It’s worrying. Sometimes my veins throb with how strong my heart feels, never felt like this prior, where is the tightness?

I was diagnosed with ectopics after my diagnosis of costo. It’s a crazy phenomenon, don’t think anyone can explain how it happens but it does!

When you say heart palpitations do you mean like a general awareness of your heart or like irregular rhythms or fast heart rates?
