Any clues at all about this?
I have a kind of dull ache in my chest - it feels as though it's kind of at the very bottom of my left lung - really only a very slight ache but it's definitely there just at the bottom of my ribcage.
I am a social smoker, have been for a long while (15 years?) though I am trying very hard to give up and did give up when I was pg witb my LO (who is now 2)
I don't have a cough, don't feel wheezy, can run for the bus etc without feeling terrible, in fact I try to go running a few times a week and it doesn't seem to be irritated by the exercise. I can take deep breaths without any trouble.
I went to the docs last week - bp is normal, she listened to my chest and couldn't hear anything. I had a pulled muscle in my shoulder so she gave me anti-inflammatories for that but nothing else.
Should I go back and demand an x-ray? or is this something which will go away now I am quitting smoking? it's definitely worse the morning after I have been smoking. Any advice gratefully received!
