What causes back pain, shortness in breath and pain while breathing?
Patient: I thought maybe it's just a pulled muscle from swimming......but not sure, I'm 33 white female, a smoker, drinker, otherwise healthy......severe lower back pain in lower right side, shortness of breath, sharp pains when taking deep breaths, unable to lay on left or right side only flat when sleeping??? Doctor: Welcome to HCM,I had gone through the case and found that it might be muscle spasm.So avoid swimming for a time. Take bed rest and any mild painkiller with apply muscle relaxant gel and heating pad. Pain will disappear 3-4 days.Hope my answer will be effective for you.Thanks
