Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had chest pain since the last day after I bent down and got up. I had this similar pain one month ago when I had influenza A. Since then, the pain has been getting worse, especially when I try to take a deep breath. Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Ilir Sharka

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. As per the symptoms explained by you, it is more likely related to extracardiac origin pain. The pain is position modulated which is likely related to an infection or inflammation. In this regard, physical examination, chest X-ray, complete blood count, and cardiac ultrasound tests are recommended. Thank you.

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