Also you may want to ask the Dr about costochondritis - which is inflammation of the lining of the ribs where they attach to the sternum. It hurts with each breath which makes you take shallow breaths - feels like you can't take a deep breath. And you HAVE to sit up straight, lay on your back, other positions just kill. Dr RX's anti-inflammatories, but it can take days to weeks to calm it down. Miserable stuff, but we TOSer's sem to be prone to it.

Best wishes,
