   Hi everyone,
   I was diagnosed with Tietze's yesterday and after reading a lot of the literature online I feel relieved because i've only had the flair up's for two weeks. I went to the ER, got an EKG done, blood work, and a chest xray and they found nothing. I felt like I was having a heart attack. My family doctor diagnosed this yesterday and since i've been having the flare ups I've been having shortness of breath. Is this a common occurance or should I be concerned it's something else?

   Thanks god he gave me a steroid shot and the pain has subsided a lot!

   This is a very common occurrence. Those flare ups will happen again and again, unfortunately :/

   The shortness of breath could be because you are still trying to breath through your chest. Breath deeply through your stomach...that should help.
