What Causes Pain Between The Shoulder Blades Along With Breathing Difficulty?
I became a widow this past year and the first anniversary is in two weeks. I am feeling many things , but of late pain between my shoulder blades ( moves side to side) sweating and labored breathing. Could this be stress related or should I have my Dr listen to my lungs? I am 65 and have minor COPD, but an very physically active. Thanku
Hello dear, I am sorry for you loss. It can be stress related, but I prefer to name a condition as related to stress after ruling out any possible cause. You are in a stressful period of your life right now, I understand that, but I would recommend you to be checked by your doctor. Even if it is stress related, you need a hand on how to manage that. Thank your for writing. I hope you find my answer useful.
