A member asked:
I have really sharp pains where my left lung is when i breathe from time to time which lasts about 7 seconds and usually when im lying down? cancer?:(
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info needed: Because you mentioned that lying down makes the pain come out--I wonder if you may be having gas pains pushing up on your left diaphragm. If you have any constipation issue please mention this to your doctor. you need a careful history and physical. I wonder why you are concerned about cancer--family history??? Take care and thanks for asking.
