Why am I getting pain in the back while breathing?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query, and I can understand your concern.

Pain over the back while breathing needs to be evaluated thoroughly. In most cases, it is caused by some minor condition like sprained rib or some contusion of the rib caused by minor trauma or fall.

Also, we have to rule out some other heart and lung conditions like pericarditis and pleural effusion.

I suggest you consult a general physician and do the following.

A short course of antibiotics may be needed. Other investigations may be necessary depending upon the initial evaluation, like the echo test to rule out pericarditis. As of now, you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain.

Thank you.
