What causes bubbling sensation in chest and breathing difficulty?
Patient: Im 24 years old,5 5 and 215 lbs. I am having chest pains from a car accident and I am getting this bubbling sensation in my chest and am having shortness of breath. I was told it sounded like I had a small hole or rip in the sack that holds my lung and it would heal within a couple days and it has been a month since the accident and i still am having this problem. I am also getting pains in my back in the area of where my lungs are when I yawn. Any answer would be helpful ...thank you! Doctor: If the pain is due to covering of the lung it may take some time to heal but there should be no major damage to the structures. You may take some pain killers and apply some local gel. Go slow on physical activity for some time.
