Hi, I work third shift and have problems sleeping. Recently I have had hip pain that I believed to be from working and carrying heavy items. Today I have felt short of breath and now am feeling an empty sensation in my chest. Should I consult my doctor?
Hi, Thanks for writing in to Chat Doctor. Kindly consult an orthopaedician. Since you are bearing heavy weight for a long duration, it is important to rule out spinal problems that may be causing hip pain. Hence, a lateral X-ray of the spine may be required along with clinical examination. Since you have not stated your age, for shortness of breath kindly consult a physician regarding an Electrocardiogram to rule out cardiac pathologies. Thanks
