What Causes Tenderness In The Chest Pain Upon Breathing Deeply?
For about a year now, I have noticed tenderness/aching in my chest, ranging from a sharp pain when i take a deep breath (infrequently, & just sometimes). It started on the left side but i periodically fell discomfort on the right side now as well. my father and grandfather both had Lung cancer.I work in ceramics and breath in silica dust and fine glaze particles.

u have family history of lung cancer and your working environment is harmful and u r at risk of cancer... so don't delay and avoid your problem.. go and consult doctor to rule out underlying problem.. as neglecting things make situation worse... prevention is better than cure
