Question
Hello doctor,
From time to time, I often have a throbbing pain in my hip near my right chest, but often when lying down, I want to move a little or breathe a little, so I have to hold my breath for a while. after the attack, then slowly breathe again. I've had this for a long time, a few times a year. Although it was only 1-2 minutes, it was over, but I felt very dangerous, in danger of dying at any time.
So the doctor told me the sharp pain in the side near the right chest is a sign of what disease? I also have bronchial asthma, or have difficulty breathing at night when stressed and when the weather changes, so I don't know if this is a complication of bronchial asthma? Thank you doctor.
