Discomfort On Right Side Of Chest While Breathing, Tingly Sound. What Could This Be ?
Hello,
I feel as if something is up with my right lung, I have had this for around 3-4 months and it is not always there, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't make me want to cough, its just strange and uncomfortable. When I breathe in and out the right side of my chest feels like a very silenced bed with springs being sat on. Imagine my lung being the mattress with springs except a lot smaller and very silenced so that only I could hear it.
That being said, I don't even have to breathe in to get it, I can fully stop breathing and just place my hand on the right side and press down and much like a bed mattress it would do the same, I press down and release, down and release and it make that strange sound, that tingly sound.
What could this be? Could it potentially be cancer?

Hello Kamran.sankey,
You have to undergo investigations at the earliest. It may be simple alveloitis. But it is always good that you do an X-ray or other tests for diagnosing your condition.
Since the problem is with your lungs, there may have some psychological reasons that happened just prior to the development of the lung problem.
I am a Homoeopath and so cannot but think about you in a holistic manner.
After getting all the investigations done, you may please approach an expert Homoeopathic physician for treatment.
With Best Wishes,
Dr C. J, Varghese,
