It feels like one of my lungs (first LEFT) cannot fill entirely with air. When I lay on the opposite side, I had the sensation of something "sliding" in my chest" and as it did I noticed the passageway seemed to clear up and i was able to breathe on that side, except that the other side was now clogged. While laying on my right side i also felt a sharp painful sort of tug so i immediately rolled on my back. Now i am having soreness just to the left of my sternum.
My heart seems to be okay but i do have some strange sensations in my chest (do not seem cardiac) every now and then.
Does this sound really serious? Should I go to the ER or can i wait for the appointment?
