Should I Be Worried About The Bulge In Upper Chest Which Causes Difficulty In Breathing And Occasional Pain?
HI DR. SAMUEL,
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A BULGE IN MY UPPER CHEST; SOMETIMES PAINFUL, WITH DIFFICULTY BREATHING, BUT NO ONE HAVE INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM. YOU CAN HEAR ME BREATHING A MILE AWAY. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS THERE. WHAT TYPE OF DR. SHOULD I SEEK, AND SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?
