Hi thanks for contacting HCM... According to your complaint following can be the diagnosis..... -muscular strain. -costo chondritis -respiratory problems If ribs tender to touch it could be costochondritis that is inflammation of costal cartilage... Here are few advise for above two causes. Take rest.... Avoid heavy weight lift and strenous activity. Hot compress helpful in soothing... Avoid movement that causing pain... Analgesic can be taken.... Here if no improvement detail investigation done with proper respi examination by pulmonologist.... For rule out respi causes like bronchitis or any restrictive disease chest x ray and spirometry helpful..... Of course anxiety can lead dyspnea so try to avoid anxiety. Yoga and exercise with behavioural therapy helpful..... Take care. Dr.Parth
