Chest Pain When Lying On Either Side, Gets Worse On Taking Deep Breaths. Cure?
Hi I am a 34 year old female with pigeon chest . I am 5 7 and 143 lbs. Just recently I have started having pain in the center of my chest especially when I m laying on either if my sides. The pain gets worse when I try to take a deep breath. What do u think could be the cause. When I lay on my back it seems to get better after a while.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Do you have fever/ cough/ breathlessness along with pain?
You should consult with internal medicine specialist and should go for thorough check up.
you should go for chest x ray on preliminary basis.
If all these symptoms are present then there is possibility of pneumonia; you have to take complete antibiotic course along with muscle relaxants and analgesics.
If all these symptoms are absent, then there is chances of muscle relaxants.
You should take complete antibiotic course.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

hello flanaganheather45
i think you should go for an ultrasound for confirmation ,it looks like gastritis with gall bladder inflammation.
you should avoid heavy ,oily food.
you can take medicine like omeprazole 20 mg twice daily with any antispas medicine like
dicyclomine 10 mg thrice daily
