    shortness of breath is normal for costo. Since you mentioned lifting something heavy, did you also get checked for a hernia? The loss of appetite makes me think hernia too. also closely related to costo is xiphodynia (commonly referred to as xiphoid process pain). I've had 2 different diagnosis. Check them all out. Dont rule out a hernia!
