Chest pain hurts when i breathe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pleuritic pain. : We would describe this type of chest pain as “pleuritic”, meaning it worsens with inhalation and stretching of the pleura. An investigation into cause is necessary to rule out things such as pneumonia and pneumothorax and pleural effusion.
