Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

You have not mentioned the type of inflammation or what was your doctor's diagnosis. It can be either an early asthma, or spasm of rib-cage muscles or even due to heart problem. Consult your chest physician who will evaluate you. If he feels that you have a congenital heart problem, you will be referred to a cardiologist too.

I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
