How Can Left Sided Chest Pain That Is Sensed While Breathing Deeply Be Treated While Intermittently Coughing Some Blood?
I have chest pain, on my left side, but only hurts when I breathe deeply. When I sleep, I can only lay on my right side as the pain becomes intense. I didn t have an injury - I just woke up feeling this way one day. Additionally, I occasionally cough up a little blood, but not much and the other material I cough up is clear. thoughts?

Hello,
The chest pain is related mainly with the inflammation of the layers of the lungs meanwhile the blood is more with the airway. I suggest you to talk with your doctor to order a chest X-ray for you. After it will be the treatment.
