Well doc I've got a serious problem I've been having reall bad chest pains in my upper right area to the right of the nipple area. It hurts when I breathe. I've been getting really dizzy just from breathing this has been going on for a.monthe and a half now andits getting worse day by day. I'm not running a fever Idont have a cold or you would think that you wouldn't have a cold for a month and a half. I went to go see my family doctor and she orde d a chest x ray. Now I had galbladder surgery a year and half ago so Iknow about the surgical clips. But the problem I'm having is Iknow where the clips are supposed to be ... int the abdomen area but my wife and I looked at the chest xray and that's not were they are.

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Fever and chest pain may be because of infection in the lungs. You have not mentioned what was x ray chest like. It`s unlikely that the pain is because of surgical clips following a GB surgery. I suggest either you consult your family physician or consult a pulmonologist for a correct diagnosis of chest pain.
