A member asked:
27/female. sharp pain in right chest when breathing. hurts to lay down, sit up, reach across chest. been going on since 6/2. what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because this pain is: SO positional, I have to suspect a musculoskeletal cause such as rib contusion or fracture, intercostal muscle strain, etc. Pleurisy, inflammation of lung lining, or pericarditis would likely hurt with other positions and activity (deep breathing, coughing).Perhaps you can recall some chest trauma? I think you can watch it; it should gradually improve. See Doc if it doesn't or more symptoms appear
