What Causes Chest Pain Only During Breathing?

I have been seeing a haematologist for 8 months now and have had 2 CT scans, 3 months apart and show lots of nodes around 9mm. Yesterday I went to the ER and with extreme chest pain when breathing but no pain when moving. The pain is worse when I lie down, the consultant I saw yesterday said it was costocondritis, the pain is not worse on moving just on breathing and also when I lie down and only on the left side. I am awaiting a lymph node biopsy, could this be Pericarditis and could it be related to either TB, Sarcoidosis or a Lymphoma. They gave me 3 different types of painkillers and told me they could not do anything more for me at this time and to wait for the biopsy result as this will answer everything. I have lost 2.5 stone in 6 months and sweat every night, I also have very itch calves at night and suffer from chronic fatigue and nausea. What is this most likely to be?.

The pain is unlikely due to TB, sarcoidosis or lymphoma. What makes you think that you have pericarditis? The pain is most likely due to costochondritis as told by your doctor. You may take some pain killer like diclofenac. Wait for the biopsy report.
