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.
What Causes Pressure In The Chest And Breathing Difficulty?
11 year old female with pressure on chest in the middle to right chest region. Slight problem breathing. Hurt more when arms were raised. Pain has subsided. It was a dull pain like someone pressing down on chest. She is not sure if she injured it when she was throwing a ball or when her friend bumped into her hard. She did a nebulizer treatment to try and open airways, if that may have been the problem. Breathing and pressure got better but returned again in about an hour. She also has a headache but she gets them quite frequently. Took tylenol and headache subsiding. Does she need to go to a hospital right away? She said chest pain is gone completely now. Should we still be worried. What do we need to do next?
