Pain when breathing

Posted , 2 users are following.

Ive been getting pain at the top left of my chest about one or 2 ribs below my collar bone when i breathe. The deeper i breathe the more it hurts. Its a stabbing/sharp pain.

I can also bring a little bit of pain on by moving my shoulder in a weird way and sort of like tensing/moving my stomach.

Im only 22 but i do smoke. Ive had a bit of a cough / phlegmy / sniffy the past few days too.

Any ideas what it could be? Im not particularly worried or anything, would just be nice to get some opinions on it. Thank you

    Hi,

    If you experience the pain ONLY when you breathe, it might be asthma or lungs infection.

    Quickly go to your Doctor.
