Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain
Question: Every time I take a deep breath I have a slight pain in my chest I am 51 years old with hcm
Brief Answer:
Following causes to pain when deep breathing in
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concern .
Having chest pain when taking deep breath might be related to many problems. As you have been diagnosed with Hcm, and already taking medications, I advise to run further tests to rule out cardiovascular problems first:
- ECG
- ecocardiogram
- stress test
Lung problems should be excluded through :
- chest Xray
- respiratory function test
Yet to my opinion, the pain you feel might be due to muscular-skeletal issues like intercostal arthritis.
For the moment, I advise to take pain killer (paracetamol, ibuprofen ) and observe if any improvement.
Hope it was of help!
