Does anyone have chest pain but can still breathe okay?
Just recently diagnosed with COPD. Does anyone have pain in the chest but still breathe ok?
Hi again, Lynnslove and thanks for this post.
For your convenience, I have copied my response here (in quotes): "Hi Lynnslove and thanks for your post. While you may hear back from others, I did want to make a comment. Besides the rib cramping and other pains that can be associated with COPD, there are several medical conditions that can result in the symptoms you’ve described (sharp, stabbing, radiating pain in the chest). Some can be serious and even indicative of larger medical issues.
If you are or have experienced these symptoms and, if the symptoms persist or are even worsening, I would strongly suggest you reach out to your physician – sooner rather than later. Naturally, it’s up to you because you are the one who is actually feeling this pain.
What do you think?
Please do check back and let us know how you’re doing.Wishing you well,
