Painful Breathing in Right Lung Area?

It extremely hurts when i breathe in on my right side. The pain feels like the back of my lung. This used to happen frequently to me, but has not for almost 4 months. What is this?? Do i need to get some sort of help?? Please help! It really hurts!

Answer 1

ITS NOT A TUMAH!!!! (quoting kindergarten cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger.)

if you have painful breathing you should probably be consulting a physician and not yahoo answers.

Answer 2

Painful inhalation could be a sign of pleurisy. There are two surfaces to the lungs and in between these is a slippery fluid (not much) that acts as a lubricant when the lungs expand and contract. Sometimes this becomes less slippery or lessens in volume, causing the two surfaces to rub together. This causes the surfaces to become very irritated and painful.

It could also be a sign of pneumonia. Don't be misled into thinking you always have to have a chest infection to get either of these.You don't.

Both conditions need PROMPT medical attention and will not heal themselves.

Apart from that - SHAME on you for neglecting your health! You should be attending a hospital or GP, not sitting in front of a 'puter screen hoping for a cure to pop out of it.

Answer 3

If it hurts real bad love go see a doctor, to me it sounds like a muscle is pinched or something.

Is your breath short or can you take deep breaths? If you are that concerned go see a physician and let them diagnose it. Not Yahoo.
