Posted on Wed, 18 Mar 2015
Question: Hello I have mild pain and stiffness just below touching the left collarbone and sometimes it goes up and down. Along with it at times I have breathlessness. Although I walk properly and take exercises daily but earlier while sleeping I would feel comfortable but now it causes me irritation. This is since two months.

Brief Answer:
It needs to be clinically assessed. Please visit a doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through the details. The pain or stiffness that you are talking about, could be due to muscle spasm. But you need to be examined clinically before a comment can be made. The cause of breathlessness also needs to be evaluated. There could be a number of causes ranging from heart causes to respiratory causes that could contribute to breathlessness. I would suggest you to visit a doctor and to get yourself evaluated. He could also suggest if the sleeping difficulties are related.

You can share with me the findings of the doctor so that I would be better able to help you out.

Regards
