What Causes Costochondritis While On Sertraline And Propranolol?

My Consultant tells me I do not have Angina but I have been taking IMDUR 30 mg in the morning as a precaution. He has told me to just stop taking them. I have stress/anxiety and been taking Sertraline and Propranolol and the Sertraline still has to kick in. I have also been told I have Costochondritis. I am having breathlessness and would like to know if either of these two could be causing this.

Hi,

The mentioned drugs molecules are usually not associated with costochondritis issue, but there can be a genetic susceptibility to affect HLA subtypes causing such changes in rare instances.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
