Suggest Treatment For Discomfort In Chest
Hi, I was in a small car crash about six months ago, When the accident happened my chest was very tight and I couldn't breath properly. The pain was more uncomfortable than painful. Ever since the accident my chest has pop/cracked when I have stretched or did something involving my chest. This pop/cracking causing the uncomfortable pain to reappear but not as bad. It last for awhile... is it nothing to be worried about?

Hello
I can understand your concern.
I need some more information as:
When you did the accident did you do a control with chest X Ray to see if something was damage in your thoracic cage?If yes and now problem was detected than,and you did not had cough with bloody sputum now i don*t thing that you have to worry about this.
But if it will repeat do a chest X Ray to exclude any new problem in your lungs.
Thank you
I wish you good health
