Sharp Chest Pain While Deep Breathing. Should I Be Worried?
i have a sharp pain in my chest (left upper) i take 30 milligrams of vyvanse in the morning and find the past 2 days have had this pain though it has not gotten worse (more painful on a deeper breath) i did only feel these pains when i took a deep breath it was minor but still just around my cardiac region so should i be worried? my bpm was 72 over 132

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Pain related to breathing / worse with time / left upper chest and cardiac region – this could mean Plural or pericardial inflammation / pain may be from pleural or pericardial rub..
It is better to see a cardiologist – physical examination, followed by EKG is necessary.
A chest X-ray and an ECHOcardiogram may also be needed.
It appears to have no relation to your medication
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
