Dr. Ihab Ibrahim answered

Specializes in Pain Management

May have infection: Whether in your lungs or under your lungs near diaphragm. A chest x-ray would be a worthwhile option for you. Sometimes, people develop spontaneous pneumothorax with collapse of one lung. If you have difficulty breathing, go to the hospital.
