Stabbing pain in upper right chest
Hello doctors
I feel stabbing and sharp pain in my right upper chest when while laughing , I take a breath.
This also happens when I exhale violently.
But most pain occurs when during laughing , I inhale and I feel like something got choked in my right chest. What it can be ?
Recently I heard of someone young diagnosed as lung cancer after feeling same pain.
Thanking you.
