A member asked:
Why sometimes fairly rarely but our of nowhere i get pretty bad chest pain when breathing deep or coughing that lasts for 5 to 15 mins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely the pain is caused by chest wall inflammation. A heating pad and Motrin are often effective in reducing the pain. If there is breathing difficulty or worsening of the pain, please let your physician know, and a virtual consultation with Healthtap is available.
