Question
Hello doctor,
I have a dull pain in my left chest since 1pm until now. When lying on the left side, the pain is sharp, lying down is also painful and difficult to breathe. So the doctor asked me if the dull pain in the left chest with shortness of breath is a sign of the disease? I thank you doctor.
