Actor Chhavi Mittal is suffering costochondritis after overcoming breast cancer last year and fighting it valiantly. Chhavi recently shared on Instagram that she has been diagnosed with costochondritis. When a person has costochondritis, the cartilage that joins the sternum, or breastbone, to the ribs, becomes inflamed.
Taking it to Instagram, Chhavi posted, “Naya wali beemari layi hoon market mein 🤓 it’s called costocondritis. Fancy no? (It’s an injury to a cartilage in the chest) The probable cause could be radiation (cancer treatment) or a side effect of the injection I took for osteopenia (a condition with low BMD) or it could be incessant cough (which I had a few days back) or a combination of one or more or all.”
She revealed, “I have pain while breathing, or using my hand, or arm, or lying down, or sitting, or laughing or pretty much everything. No, I’m not always positive about it, but I’m rarely negative. So, holding my chest in my hand, I went to the gym (my happiest place) coz u know what?”
Closing the post on a positive note, she added, “We all get knocked down, but do we get up again? Well I do! For anyone who needs to hear this.. I know ur suffering in some way or the other.. but ur not alone! And THIS TOO SHALL PASS. #healthiswealth”
In 2022, after battling with cancer, post-surgery she declared herself cancer free.
