A member asked:

I have chest pains when i take a deep breath and when i move around. i was told at one time i had plurisy and was wondering if this could be it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest pains: One possible cause is a pinched intercostal nerve or irritated/inflamed muscle. The nerve runs between two ribs and a deep breath causes a sharp,shooting pain. This is more if a nuisance disorder rather than anything serious and usually no specific treatment is needed. Discuss this with your physician.
