What Causes Left Sided Chest Pain While Taking Deep Breath?
My husband started having chest pain, mostly when he inhales deeply 3 days ago. At first it was on his left side, now just hurts in the middle. Still made worse by deep or heavy breathing. He has no other symptoms besides a slightly runny nose. He has complained a time or two of the room being too hot. What could this be?
