Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have acute chest pain for a short duration in both chests but severe in the left with breathing problems and increased breast size.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. You have not specified the type and duration (hours or days) of pain. Is the pain radiating to any parts or localized and associated with any other difficulties? Please answer my questions.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I am suffering from this for the last two months, and it is localized and less severe on the right chest. It comes once in a week or month, and it lasts for two minutes. Kindly tell me what the problem is.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. I think on and off chest pain, localized to chest, not radiating, and not associated with fever or shortness of breath lasting for few minutes and subsiding by itself most likely indicates bronchial asthma. If you have a family history of asthma, please consult a chest physician nearer to you so that he can do an asthma test (PFT-pulmonary function test) and tell whether you have asthma. Kindly make sure that the pain you are worried about is not associated with food intake before or after food intake. In that case, it could be simple gastritis. Also, make sure that there are no soft tissue lumps in your breast, causing pain.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
