What Causes Pain In The Chest And Lower Back?
My friend worked in the oil fields for 7 years in the past and has developed a gurgling sound when breathing. He complains of chest and lower back pain.He is now a trucker and states to also have a taste of blood in the mornings? Could he have lung problems?
