A member asked:

Chest hurts/burns when i breathe. what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest pain: Severe chest pain on breathing in a 36y/o is usual pleural inflammation and generally will go away by itself. If it doesn't should consult your doctor to see if something else is causing it. Would usually resolve in a week or less.
