I had been in coma for 3 days and was in ventillation for 7 days due to ARDS in the last february but since then after my recovery I started having severe pain in my chest accompanied with breathing problem. Doctor has advice me to go thruogh a chest x-ray, it shows little congestion in lungs. But doctor has told me that it cant be the cause of chest pain. I am an field executive and had to work through the entire day in the field. I used to take alzolam 0.5mg every night because I have severe sleeping disorder and tremendous pressure of work. May I please know how can I get relief of the pain?
Hello, Once fully recovered from ARDS, there should not be severe chest pain interfering with the daily activities. On the reverse, minor congestion will also be not responsible for the intense pain. I recommend deep breathing exercises, inhalation therapy and assisted chest physiotherapy at present for primary relief till your expert guides you further. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
