im 26 about 58 and about 145 pounds (66kg) and no real medical history i could advise as i have always been one not to worry and havent seen a doctor for anything for as long as my memory goes back. however i have recently been having sharp stabbing pains through the centre slightly to the right side of my upper chest going all the way through to my back. this pain will stay for maybe 2 days at a time seem to disappear and return maybe a few days later. the pain makes me want to have short breaths to reduce the pain but will then cause me to need a deep breath and will cause shooting pains again. any ideas or reason to worry?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. ..... Here according to history if you have associated smoking habit then bronchitis or COPD or pulmonary fibrosis condition ruled out by chest x-ray and spirometry ... Then according to cause treatment done ... You might have given bronchodilator or steroid course for it.... If no above condition present rule out gastric cause like acid reflux or gastritis . If present omeprazole given for it .... If still cause not detectable then it could be fibromyalgia type pain.... Analgesic can be taken for pain when needed. Strenous work avoided. If needed physiotherapy exercise can be done. Take care. Consult physician with keeping my answer in mind... Take care
