I have been sick with upper respiratory infection and asthma for the last two weeks. I m on prednison and have completed the Z-pak. However, for the last week, I have been experiencing a burning/pressure/pain sensation next to my left breast and underneath it. I haven t been wearing a bra to try and avoid this pain. Any advise. I ve already had shingles and the vaccination for shingles, but at times the pain seemed to mimmick those symptoms. Please help.
Hi, The pain may be of three things 1. Cardiac have an ECG for that2. Lungs that are pleuritic chest pain Have a X-ray for that. That is lower respiratory tract infection can spread to the pleura the outer covering of the lungs3. Musculoskeletal that is inflammation of the costal cartilages known as Costco Chat Doctor.  You should have painkillers for that now that includes Tab. Ibuprofen 400 mg thrice daily for 03 days and have proper workup for the chest pain. I hope I am successful in solving your query If you have furthered you can ask me Take care and good rest
