A member asked:
I have pain in or around my left lung and it hurts to take a deep breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The concern here: is possibly having blood clot in the lung if you have family history or smoker or using bcp, etc. It can also be pleurisy which follows an uri. Another possibility is inflammation of the cartiladge between rib and chest bone. Go to an urgent care center or ER to get checked out.
