Hi, I had a chest pain like a stabbing sharp pain around where my heart is a week ago - lasted approx 5 seconds and has left me with a soreness / pulling pain at the top and bottom of deep breaths. No cough with this, I feel breathless and feel like I am struggling to get my deep breaths but have had ECG, X-ray and oxygen sats done to show all ok. A duty nurse has now advised that my symptoms sound like Costochondritis - but I cannot find anything on the internet to suggest you feel like you are breathing through a blanket on one side of your chest. Is this viable with this condition?
