Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain With Difficulty In Breathing
I have a pain in the right lung every now and then when i try to breath in i get a sharp pain and i have had it a couple of times where i cant move or turn my chest due to the pain. I just thought i should see if it anything that need checking or just a random pain :) thanks

thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
Most common cause may be costochondritis which is due to fatigue, stress, lifting heavy stuff, etc. Simple pain relievers and muscle relaxant are the usual treatment. But you should see a doctor in order to illiminate other causes (lung/heart problems). I suggest to do a chest xray and ECG just to be sure.
