Please explain what does it mean when the lungs/chest hurts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pain cause: Chest pain can be due to many possible causes. Don't assume it's related to the lungs. Causes of chest pain include muscular or skeletal pain, heart problems, lung problems (infection, inflammation), shingles, among many other possibilities. You need to see a practitioner to pin this down. He/she may be able to tell just with a thorough history and exam.
