My chest hurts when I breathe in

Breathing is to provide the body with enough oxygen, and regular exhalation ensures the normal functioning of the body. However, some people experience chest pain when breathing, especially if it happens multiple times. This condition may be caused by chest wall pain. Not only when breathing, but also when coughing, sneezing or turning around, the chest may feel painful. Now that the possible factors have been found, further diagnosis is needed.

Chest pain during inspiration is one of the clinical manifestations of chest wall pain. Chest wall pain is also known as musculoskeletal pain. The pain of chest wall pain is concentrated in one point and the patient can point it out clearly. The pain does not last long, usually only one or two seconds each time, and there is a chance of recurrence. The patient experiences stabbing or even severe pain in the chest when taking a deep breath, coughing, sneezing or turning around. The pain may be more severe than chest pain caused by other diseases, but most cases improve within a few days to two or three weeks. Any age can get it.

reason

Chest pain during inspiration is one of the clinical manifestations of chest wall pain.

1. The patient sprained the cartilage between the ribs and it became inflamed, which is called costochondritis, one of the more common chest wall pain diseases.

2. Inflammation caused by viruses such as influenza. (The flu itself can also cause bone pain all over the body.)

3. Rib fracture is more rare, but also the most painful.

Differential Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of chest pain on inspiration:

1. Anxiety causes chest pain

Symptoms

1. Patients claim that the pain lasts for hours, days, years, or even more than ten years.

2. Pain may occur anywhere in the chest, and patients usually feel "cloudy" or "stuffy".

3. When the patient is still, such as sitting, lying down or not working, he or she begins to feel chest discomfort.

4. Not when working or exercising.

5. As soon as the patient sits down to see the doctor, he anxiously lists out multiple "symptoms": dizziness, sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, fear of heat, fear of cold, numbness of hands, feet or lips, and he really wants the doctor to "cure" his illness quickly.

2. Chest pain when exhaling: Pleurisy, also known as pleurisy, is an inflammation of the pleura. The most common symptom of pleurisy is chest pain. Chest pain often occurs suddenly and can vary greatly in severity, from vague discomfort to severe stabbing pain. It may only occur when the patient takes a deep breath or coughs, or it may be persistent and aggravated by deep breathing or coughing.

Mitigation methods

treat

1. The inflamed area will heal on its own without taking any medication. Your doctor may prescribe analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen).

2. If the ribs are broken, you can only wait for the wound to heal on its own.

3. There is no need to take antibiotics because they have no effect on viruses.

4. Insist on participating in personal physical examination activities organized by the unit and seek medical treatment in time if any disease is found.
