What Causes Pain In Chest While Breathing?
My 18 year old daughter has been having chest pain for days now and pain with breathing in. She has cracked ribs and woke up this morning crying from the pain in her chest in ribs. Is this something I should take her to the hospital for? She also states that she feels heavy.

Hi,
This may not be anything serious but it's important that she is seen urgently and get an X-ray done, just to be very safe.
The pain may be caused by any muscle soreness but we need examination and chest xray to rule out pneumonia, fracture, o pnemothorax or pleurisity and hence proper management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
