A member asked:
Im 25, currently been diagnosed with the stomache flu and with a deep breath my neck on the sides and my ribs have been hurting is this normal?

No: Pain on breathing deeply suggests that either the muscles between your ribs are stressed or inflamed, or that you have pleuritis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the lungs). You should go back to the doctor who diagnosed "stomach flu" and get re-examined.
