A member asked:
I am having bad chest pain making it hurt to breathe what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to the ER: Pericarditis, pleurisy, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism are the serious causes. Intercostal neuralgia, myofascial syndrome, costochondritis, and fibromyalgia are the less serious causes. Unless you know which one you have, you ought to go to the er.
