I have terrible pain when breathing. I went to the hospital 2 years ago where doctors found a shaddow on my lung. They treated me for a blood clot but never gave me another xray to determine that it was a blood clot and never checked if it had gone. The pain never went away and it is now 2 years down the line but doctors have ignored me. I now feel like my lungs are like balloons that have been blown up too many times and are all old and crusty. It feels like they are going to snap when I breath. I have pain and lumps in my shoulder and a lump in my lower back. I have lums in both legs which I started noticing over the last month or so and they are very painful. Sometimes I can hardly walk because my legs are that cramped and I struggle to breath and get dizzy.my whole body is in pain I feel like I ve been hit by a bus. I throw up and cough up blood often and I have a big lump that comes up round my lungs sometimes when I cant breath almost like my lung is trying to come through my chest. They feel spongy from the outside as I they are surrounded by fluid. Why won t anybody help me? I m scared its too late and I m dying but nobody will listen. I also went to the doctors a few weeks ago and they told me that my liver and kidneys were borderline and sent my home ithout explaining it to me or ordering any further tests. I feel like my shoulder is rotting away it is so very painful
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more in your case. Cough, blood in sputum (hemoptysis), breathlessness, chest pain etc. are suggestive of bronchitis more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. So better to consult pulmonologist, first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
