Can Dizziness Be A Symptoms Of Costonchondritis ?

I was diagnosed with costochondritis and I ve been experiencing dizziness/fatigue along with chills. I was wondering if the dizziness and/or chills could be related to costochondritis or could this possibly be a symptom of a different condition?

Hi,
Thanks for the query
Costochondritis is inflammation localized to the costal cartilages it does not present with dizziness.
However it can cause fatigue which is more so related to the pain that occurs as a result of this condition.
Hope i was of help to you.
Take care.
