It hurts when i breathe?

Question

whenever i take a deep breath or yawn it hurts.

it feels like my chest isn't big enough for my lungs.

it's been happening all day...

is something like really wrong?

Answer 1

did you work out today or do something that caused you to breathe alot? whenever i am breathing heavy i always get that feeling for a day

Answer 2

It could indigestion, or panic. I once suffered from the same thing, and put it down to this. Try taking slow, deep breaths when it happens again, hold it for a few seconds and then let it go. If you do this for a few minutes the pain should go away.

Answer 3

stop taking deep breaths.

Answer 4

You may have a chest infection

See a doctor

Other possibilities might include Anxiety or injury

Answer 5

respiratory infection?

new medication?

or like above: it could be all in your head. Rule out medical and then you'll know.

Answer 6

Answer 8
