Chest Pain and Breathing Difficulty
I've been having recurring chest pains since 2 days now and it pains in whole of the vertical region between my rib-cage and a bit towards the left chest. The pain grows from mild to heavy and sometimes it's hard to breathe and suffocating as well. I've had breathing troubles before a few times but it is the first time I've experienced such pain.
Hi. I understand your concerns. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigations like chest x ray to look for infection. and also pulmonary function test which is needed for diagnosis and also to assess severity of bronchitis based on which treatemnt can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.
