A member asked:

I am 34, female, and have never been a smoker. today i started having a pain under my right clavicle everytime i take a deep breath, cough, or laugh. ?

Could be: pleurisy or even pulmonary embolus. You should see a doctor asap if you have breathing problems, leg swelling/pain, or palpitations. If not, you can probably wait on it to see if otc NSAID such as ibuprofen or naprosyn (naproxen) would help.
