Hello, Im a 25 year old male born with asthma who smoked for around 10 years, my doctor told me i was beginning to show signs of copd so i quit a few months ago, recently i began experiencing chest pains different than any i have felt before, the pain is constant and for some reason becomes excruciating if i bring my arms close to my chest ( like lying on my side when i try to rest) or when i look down and the pain reaches its peak when i touch my chin to my chest. Would this be related to the starting signs of copd my doctor told me about or an unrelated condition, if so why would it start up now months after i quit and is there something i can do to allevaite some of the pain?
Hi I have read and understood your query well. The kind of chest pain u describe seems to be due to muscular pain (maybe caused due to lifting of heavy object or exercise) . Early signs of cop dare breathlessness and persistent cough. U should visit us treating doctor, and he will prescribe you muscle relaxants for the pain. I hope I have ad Chat Doctor.  If satisfied kindly close this query with good rating. Thank you wish you good health
