What Causes Pain In Lower Lungs?
Hi!, I feel really silly to ask this... I get quite severe pain in my lower lungs whenever I brush my teeth, at first I thought I might be holding my breath, so I concentrate on not doing that, I've tried sitting down too, I'm not over weight and I don't have asthma, I have switched toothpaste many times.. so could it be possible I am allergic to toothpaste?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Here according to your history it doesn't seems to be allergy to toothpaste as you have changed paste many time...
Here it seems musculoskeletal pain.
If proper sleep posture not there while sleeping then also pain can occur..
Avoid heavy exercise and weight lift if present.
Take rest.
Simple analgesic can taken if needed...
Excess stress avoided as it will precipitate condition....
If still no recovery then for bronchitis or bronchiolitis or for COPD chest xray and spirometry done.
Take care.
