A member asked:

Hi doctor i wanted to ask about if there happens to be something with my lungs because i get shortness of breath my chest often hurts and my upper back and the bottom of my ribs in my front side?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please get evaluated: Shortness of breath associated with chest pain should always be check out. The location of the chest pain sounds more consistent with musculoskeletal pain, which could be associated with hyperventilation, but primary lung disease like asthma or cardiac condition needs to be ruled out. Start with your family doctor who may referred to a specialist such as a pulmonologist.
