Hello,
Your symptoms don't seem to be related to costochondritis. A bulging disc in the cervical vertebral column can mimic this clinical situation. I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a cervical spine MRI. Other blood lab tests may be needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
