Question
Hello doctor, lately I feel uncomfortable, in the middle of the chest (no pain) with a slight shortness of breath, worse when I lie in a hammock and sit slightly bent, but more comfortable when I lying on a mattress or the ground. I am in good shape, do sports, before, I had pain in my chest but it went away very quickly (I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with an intercostal nerve disorder), recently I have carried something about 10kg, then I I had a stabbing pain in my chest, but it went away after that. Doctor, tell me, what's wrong with chest pain when carrying heavy objects with difficulty breathing? Thank you!
