When I try to take a deep breath it really causes pain in my back (right side) and discomfort in the front on the right side of my right breast. If I raise my arm it helps to take a deep breath.
Hello there mary,
Maybe you have hurt your ribs somehow. Were you involved in some kind of physical activity which could cause some injury? If you did, than maybe you are feeling discomfort while breathing because one or more of your ribs is injured. To be absolutely sure in this you need to see your doctor. He will probably send you to the radiologist to do the X-ray. This is necessary to get the right diagnosis of your condition. During this examination, you will need to remove all the jewelry and piercings, and shirts with zippers because all this can confuse machine.
After this, your doctor will have image of your ribs and if there is some kind of injury he will see it.
Is there any other answer besides this man?
