Hi all. I'm new to this site and have costo. The swelling in the sternum has reduced but still get stingers and soreness in the left pectoral/heart region. My question is does anyone experience shortness of breath (like you can't draw in a full deep breath or yawn) or a shaky back, arms and hands?

    Hi Scott. I also feel like I can’t take a deep breath it actually hurts. I also get run pain and at times feel quite shaky. I get dizziness as well

      Thanks Shelley! It's crazy how I can be totally calm lying in bed and my heart rate will try to take off on it's own if I flip on my side. It's not so scary now that I know it's the inflammation causing it. I get the shakes too, especially when I don't get enough sleep. Happy healing to you!
