Hello,

The thing is that costochondritis will cause pain on a daily basis and anxiety will cause chest pain when you are under stress. In costochondritis, there will be evidence of inflammation in lab tests such as TLC, DLC, ESR, or CRP. As per your symptoms, I am sure it is anxiety.

Take tablet Clonazepam 0.25 mg, half in the morning and 1 at night, whenever you get anxious, try deep breathing, meditation, go to some religious place on daily basis and get involved in some social cause and social service.

All these things are helpful in depression also as above drugs mentioned are prescription drugs. Please contact your local doctor so that he will prescribe these.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
