Actor Chhavi Mittal has recently spoken about costochondritis, which is a medical condition when there is an injury to a cartilage in the chest. The pain associated with costochondritis mimics that of a heart attack. It is also referred to as chest wall pain syndrome or costosternal syndrome or costosternal chondrodynia.
"Naya wali beemari layi hoon market mein it’s called costocondritis. Fancy no? (It’s an injury to a cartilage in the chest) The probable cause could be radiation (cancer treatment) or a side effect of the injection I took for osteopenia (a condition with low BMD) or it could be incessant cough (which I had a few days back) or a combination of one or more or all. I have pain while breathing, or using my hand, or arm, or lying down, or sitting, or laughing or pretty much everything. No, I’m not always positive about it, but I’m rarely negative. So, holding my chest in my hand, I went to the gym (my happiest place) coz u know what? We all get knocked down, but do we get up again? Well I do! For anyone who needs to hear this.. I know ur suffering in some way or the other.. but ur not alone! And THIS TOO SHALL PASS," Chhavi Mittal has captioned a picture of her on social media.
