I have been diagnosis with gerd and costochondritis. I also have serve anxiety. I have tried the mortin and maalox. I take xanax daily. If I try to use anything to help with my gerd it seems to interfer with my anxiety. And its been 4 months since having costochondritis symtoms ( trouble breathing, sore chest). I am 40 Yrs old, female, weight 220. I have went to many Dr's and the Er. Could I have contagious costschondritis and the ER would miss this?

Summarized question: How to detect costschondritis?
