Question

Can costochondritis cause nausea?

Answer 1

Nausea is not a symptom of costochondritis. Intense, aching or sharp chest pain are symptoms of costochondritis. The pain may get worse because of:

• Deep breathing.
• Physical activity.
• Sneezing.
• Coughing.
• Pressure against your chest from a hug, seatbelt, etc.

Remember that you should go to the emergency department if you have severe chest pain.
