Is throbbing pain while breathing normal due to inflamed chest?
Patient: hi, a few hours ago i went to the A&E for chest pains, had an x-ray and an ecg with normal results..i was diagnosed with having an inflamed chest wall and given ketoprofen slow release capsules and paracetamol. I took 100mg of the ketoprofen and 1500mg of paracetamol and i am still experiencing pains, in fact it seems the pain has worsened. When i take a deep breath there will be a sharp throbbing pain. Is this normal? Doctor: Hi thanks for contacting HCM..You are having chest wall inflammation...So pain is present ....For pain you had take paracetamol and for inflammation relief ketoprofen...Here continue antiinflammatory drug like ketoprofen for relief from inflammation for five days . ..Avoid strenous work for few days....Hot pad application can be useful ...Avoid bad sleep posture ...Avoid movement causing pain...Take rest for few days ...Take care ...
