The scarring, also known as pulmonary fibrosis, can lead to difficulty breathing and discomfort during deep breaths. The pain experienced during the final stage of a deep breath may be due to the scarring in the left lung. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any other potential causes of the pain. Pain when breathing is abnormal.
