What is the cause of pain in lungs when lying down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lung pain lying down: This is uncertain and you didn't give any details. If this is just going on for a short time and you have no other medical problem then it could be pleurisy from a viral infection and should get better with time, can use Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen). Typically gets worse with a deep breath too.Did you overwork and strain a chest muscle? Could you have cancer or lupus - there are a lot of possibilities.
