What Causes Tender Chest And Pain While Breathing?

I have some problems with my lung/heart area. I ve been told after numerous EKG s, that my heart is fine. Every time I go to the ER, the doctor s tell me that I have an infection in the lungs, or that they are baffled. Even still, I experience chest pain/ pain breathing/ and tenderness to touch in the back/front area after a long periods of the mentioned symptoms.

Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
With this presentation, one would still need to ask you some few questions like the precised location of this pain, whether the pain is always there or it is intermittent (on and off). Notwithstanding, I think it might be related to peptic ulcer diseases or an inflammation within the pleural cavity.
Concerning peptic ulcer diseases, I would suggest you try an antacid with another drug like omeprazole, ranitidine or cimetidine for some days. If you feel relieved, then continue for about 2 weeks.
If there is no improvement, I think you would require some tests like a chest X-ray or chest scan to rule out an inflammation within the pleural cavity.


I hope that helps
i wish you well
