Brief Answer:
unlikely to be costochonditis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
The pain of costochonditis lasts several days. A lasting only 30 minutes is unlikely to be costochonditis. Such pains are usually from the esophagus or the heart. If it is possible to have an EKG done during the episode of pain it would be helpful. Your doctor may then decide whether you require esophageal studies.
Take care
