my father has  strong  pain in this ribs on his right hand side and has trouble taking a full breath. it is worse when he lies down and is more comfortable sitting up. his gp checked him yesterday but his symptoms were not so bad when he saw him. he said his chest sounded ok,blood pressure 150/90, he is on blood pressure tablets. he has muscle pains like flu but no cough or cold. only a feeling of feeling lousy. his blood count had slightly elevated white blood cells yesterday. i am unsure of what to do?
Hello dear, welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This seems bronchitis issue with lung infection, secondary pleura irritation giving rib pains.* Needs proper care with deep breathing exercises, walking in fresh air YOGA on regular basis.  - Proper antibiotics , analgesic, bronchi dilator agents.
