hi, ive been complaining about a recent upper back pain for 2 days now. the discomfort/pain starts between the scapula and runs down to mid back. taking a deep breath at a sleeping position feels difficult, standing up straight or sitting down seem to feel like im putting a strain on it, sometimes i feel like my chest is tight and breathing becomes a little uncomfortable...
Hi, The pain described by you is musculoskeletal in origin by history alone. But, a thorough clinical examination would also be required. Couple of other possible conditions that need to be excluded are A/c gastritis and lung conditions. There is only one serious condition that can present like this and that is coaptation of aorta. But this is a very acute condition and is very unlikely in your case. Anxiety also seems to be involved. Analgesics, antacids and rest to the part should help you to recover and reach your normal self very quickly.
