Chest pain when deep breath

I have a pain at the edge of my left chest whenever I take a deep breath. Normal breath does not cause any pain. It has been going on for 5 days. It still won’t go away.

Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like chest x ray to look for any lung infection. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest
