hi I'm 47 and prior to this always in good health. I woke up couldn't breathe and after several misdiagnosis a CT scan showed I had had a spontaneous extra pleural haematoma - apparently extremely rare it was left to see if my body absorbed it but I became  breathless had a lung fluid biopsy done and then a vats and chest drain. This was 11 weeks ago and all was ok but pain on right chest and back has reappeared  hurts to be cuddled or to lie down and I'm in agony if I sneeze advice please

    Try taking some anti inflammatory drugs like signoflam after consulting your doctor. And your body has to adjust to it. Try doing some breathing exercises and yoga like pranayama. This will increase the oxygen concentration in your blood which will trigger faster healing.

      Thank you for the advice I think I am anxious that'll come back and frustrated that it's hurting when I had felt so much better

      Don't think about it you ll depress yourself this way think positive and positive things will happen get yourself examined again by the doctor get some imaging tests done if the doctor says so to clear your doubt. But till then don't worry body is a weird thing and mind makes weird observations that are generally wrong. So don't worry until your doctor finds out something and apply yourself to some work. Let the body heal. Worrying will only delay things. Hope you get well soon. smile
