Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with costochondrial calcification I am suggesting strongly that you have developed the following conditions
hypercalcemia
Pulmonary tuberculosis
Hypervitaminosis
Carcinoid tumor
In view of this please do a
serum calcium level
Serum vitamin D level
Carcinoembryonic antigen
Mantoux test
Meanwhile please see an orthopaedic specialist with the results and for further clinical assessment and expert management
I hope this helps
