Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain on breathing is known as pleuritic pain. And it is commonly seen with bronchitis and lung infection.
You are also having chest tightness.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray
3. PFT (pulmonary function test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
You may need antibiotic, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of these reports.
Your shoulder symptom is mostly due to frozen shoulder. So start physiotherapy for this.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
