Chest pain

I am having horrible chest pain right now in the upper left side of my chest. I am not having any trouble breathing and my O2 is 96. I am just wondering is it possible I pulled a muscle? It hurts when I move a lot too.

Is it a sharp stabbing pain? If not, is it more like a really bad ache that hurts worse when you move in a certain way (like lift your arm)? If yes then you probably pulled or strained a muscle. Put heat on it several times a day and take an antiinflamatory. If it doesn't get better then see a doc.

It could be pleuresy which is an inflamation of the lining of the lung. I had it a few years ago while in the hospital. By the time it started my infection was cleared up, but the pain was awful. To do a treatment was almost impossible. I would gaurantee if someone who wasnt CF had to do a treatment with that pain that they couldnt. Tylenol/Motrin took the edge off, but it never went completely away even when sleeping. As quick as it came, it went.

haha..i think that recipe is in the wrong place, but anyways

i have been having a similar stabbing chest pain for the past week and a half, beginning almost at the same time that i stopped a two-week cours of IV antibiotics

it comes and goes and is very painful, it will happen to me maybe 3-4 times a day, in the same exact spot. it hurts to take a deep breath, but i find that when i bite the bullet and take a deep breath and cough, i will feel a little crackle and the pain will go away

i had a chest x-ray today and spoke briefly with my doctor...he said it could be one of a few things....a partially collapsed lung, pleuracy (sp), a clot of some sort or maybe a "mucus plug" i honestly don't know

anybody have any thoughts on this one?...and perhaps this is what is happening to the original poster

I had pleuresy in my right lung and it hurt like hell! I don't have CF and so I can only imagine how painful it would be to have to do treatments on top of that. The only thing my doctor did was give me vicodin which my breathing even more shallow.

Thanks guys for the info. The pain has gone away pretty much altogether except when i do PFT's then it kills. I just got out of the hospital this afternoon. I am doing the rest of my cleanout at home thank God. I hate being in the hospital it's the absolute worst!!
