Costochondris is inflammation of the junction between cartilage in the
front of the rib cage and the bony rib. It is a sharp soreness that
hurts particularly as the chest moves (most noticeable in inspiration or
with palpating). It lasts a split second. Angina is a deeper more
visceral sensation. It represents nervous stimulation due to lack
oxygen in heart tissue. Lasts minutes.
