A member asked:
I am having chest pain above right breast hurts when i inhale or raise right arm came on about an hour ago i am asthmatic inhalers not helping ?

Pleurisy: The pain with deep breath suggests pleurisy but the fact that raising your arm also causes it suggests that it's muscular or related to your rib cage. If it's making you short of breath, you should go to the er. If not, i'd try simple analgesics like ibuprofen.

See below: This may be muscle sprain from coughing or uncontrolled asthma. Take some ibuprofen, if that doesn't help go to urgent care or er, anyplace you can get a chest x-ray, these may be the symptoms of a pneumothorax. Pulmonary embolism is also in the differential diagnosis.
