Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of costochondritis is more.
Inhalation and exhalation cause movements of rib cage. And pain of costochondritis is characteristically on movements.
But better to get done chest x ray to rule out internal lung disease.
If chest x ray is normal then costochondritis is likely.
So apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take simple painkiller like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
