Question 1

I keep getting a sharp pain, it feels like in my lower lobe of my left lung sometimes when i inhale deep, every once in a while it feels like it pops?

Accepted Answer

Have you seen a doctor about your pain?  A doctor needs to listen to your lungs, and you might need labs and an imaging study.  You don't say whether you have any asthma or other chronic lung condition.

Question 2

I keep having this sharp pain on my left lung and my back, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Because it could be pneumonia, pleurisy, pulmonary embolus, shingles, or any number of things.

Question 3

I've just smoked a cigarette and now i have a very sharp pain in my left lung, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Should not smoke any more.  If it persists, it could be a pneumothorax, so get to a doctor for an x ray.

Question 4

Sharp pain in my left lung that comes once in a while and when i cough hard it goes away! help?

Accepted Answer

Pain with coughing can be any number of things, yet as it is only intermittent, i think it would most likely be from a strain of one of the muscles of your rib cage.  If it persists, though, see your doctor.  Feel better!

Question 5

What are warning signs of collasped lung? how do doctors know? been having very bad pain on entire left lung with sharp pain hard to breath please help

Accepted Answer

A chest x-ray and listening to the lungs are the best ways to tell.

Symptoms of a collapsed lung include:

    sudden shortness of breath
    painful breathing
    sharp chest pain, often on one side.

Question 6

Pleurisy? sharp pain on left side of left lung while breathing in. only lasts for 10-15 min. subsides for a week or so then sharp lung pain returns?

Accepted Answer

and a chest X-ray or CT may be required for a diagnosis. Many possible causes of pleurisy and some of them can be serious, but most are treatable. Don't delay & go see the doc. If persists, be emphatic about discovering the cause of this recurrent problem. A Pulmonary Specialist is the expert.

Question 7

I recently started having random sharp pains every few hours in my lower left lung. the pain lasts about the span of one breath. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Sound like inflammation of a rib. Observation and possibly Advil (ibuprofen) is in order.

Question 8

I have a sharp pain ay my left side upper chest that hurts at my left lower shoulder blade as well.  i know it's at my lung.  is it pleurisy?

Accepted Answer

Pleurisy  typically hurts more with breathing.  Pain with shoulder movement is more likely related to the muscles of the shoulder blade.

Question 9

I'm experiencing sharp pain at my lower left side chest for almost 2 years. i vomited a yellow bitter substance yesterday. can you help please ?

Accepted Answer

Something is irritating your stomach  take antacids  and get checked out.

Question 10

I have a sharp pain in my left chest and lower rib cage.. i workouted out my upper body too?

Accepted Answer

This is probably a muscle strain or sprain. I would suggest rest and a NSAID to relive the discomfort. You might want to tone down the next workout to that area.
