Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday I bent down and a sharp pain, left mid chest, hit me like a ton of bricks. It felt like I was stabbed, took my breath away and continued for about two minutes. Even after I stood up straight it hurt badly and I couldn t get my breath. That happened twice yesterday. Today it happened again only I was sitting and just bent forward. I have a dull ache left mud chest. I ve had coughing spells off and on for about two weeks.
