What Causes Upper Back Pain On Breathing?

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM. I reviewed facts of your query in context to your health issues. My Opinion- In My opinion, in the given situation you seem to suffer from-VTE(Venous Thrombo-Embolism)with PE(Pumonary Embolisme),which could cause such a pain in chest from infalmmation from embolic event causing right pleurisy pain in back of chest. Though on coumadin, you have had 3 clots in right lung already. In this scenario I would suggest you to check the INR ratios with fresh BT/CT studies and to adjust doses to keep INR at-1:2.5 of normal. Other causes need to be ruled out. Your Vascular Surgeon and Physician in charge, need to be Consulted immediately,as to avoid massive embolic attack. Alerts- Take it to ER and to treat for Embolism to avoid massive embolic complications endangering your life. Next appointment- After 2 weeks to review treatment for existing stomach problem .
