10 Symptoms of Costochondritis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Anxiety
It is never nice to be ill or injured. The pain and other symptoms are often unbearable and we will often just pray for the day they stop. This can lead to some considerable stress, but, fortunately, it is usually an experience that does not last for long. With long-lasting conditions such as costochondritis, though, relief from the pain is not likely to come.
This extended pain can lead to considerable anxiety. What’s more is that the pain is also often associated with a heart attack and similar life-threatening conditions, making the problem worse. Patients with the condition will often need to be treated for anxiety, as well as for the physical symptoms they experience.
