Sharp Pain in the chest especially when breathing deeply. It happens constantly start since about three days ago. May i know what can i do about, plaese
My friend is a 40 y.o male, have asthma and have been taking ventolin daily.
He is experiencing sharp pain in the middle of the chest when he breathes. It is especially when he is inhaling and more so when he takes deep breathe.
No other related pain. Just few body aches on his right elbow and left leg (if that is relevant).
May i know what is the possible cause, and how can we do about it?
Thank you.
