Costochondritis is a condition in which the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone (sternum) becomes inflamed. Chest pain is the main symptom, and because the symptoms can resemble those of pneumothorax or heart disease, an accurate diagnosis is important. If chest pain persists, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

The intervertebral disc acts as a cushion between the bones of the spine. When a disc is damaged or pushed out of place, it can press on nearby nerves and cause pain and numbness. Most cases improve with conservative treatment, but if symptoms are severe or there are signs of nerve damage, evaluation by a medical specialist is needed.2026-06-26

Pneumothorax is a condition in which air collects between the lung and the chest cavity (the space inside the chest). The chest cavity is the space that surrounds the lungs. It mainly occurs on one side of the chest, and chest pain and difficulty breathing are the typical symptoms. If you suspect symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26
