Question: i have pressure pain from the bottom of my ear lobe to right above my chest, when i bend over it is worse i am having a hard time breathing and when i do breath it hurts. I was taking thyroid pill and i stopped taking them about a year ago i now take a vitamin with iodine
Brief Answer:
Get done thyroid function test.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should get done thyroid function test first.
Also get done ultrasound examination of neck to rule out internal pathology.
If both these are normal then possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
So take painkiller like ibuprofen.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Please let me know if you are having any cervical spine disease.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks
