<s>[INST] Hello I have been having sharp pains in my lungs (both) especially on my right (about 5 years now, but it s getting worse), when this happens I can t breathe properly because it feels as if it will be teared apart along with this pain my upper arm also hurts and lately whatever direction I turn my head - my lungs hurts immensely mainly my left - seems pretty close to my heart. It hurts so much but I haven t seen a doctor have been busy do you know what it could possibly be? 19 Female Non-Smoker Do Not Drink [/INST] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having all these symptoms for five years. So in my opinion, you should definitely consult doctor and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray. 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Lung infection and bronchitis are common cause for chronic chest pain and breathlessness. So chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis. You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks. </s>
