Pain Beneath Collar Bone, Difficulty Sleeping, Hurts When Inhaling. History Of Bulimia. No Blood When Coughing
Hello, I woke up at 3 am with sharp pain beneath my right collar bone. It has only worsened in the past 2 hours and has prevented me from sleeping. It especially hurts when I inhale and/or exhale. I have had a severe cough for the past 3 weeks or so. It started deep in my lungs then in the past week or so it has moved to my head. I also have had a history of bulimia, so I have been worried about tearing my esophagus. I am not coughing up any blood, but I am wondering if I should be concerned?

Hi
First thing to tell you is not to get worried.You should get a chest xay,routine blood count.A routine physical examination by a physician is necessary.And should get sputum AFB also.Then we can find out what is wrong.If it is TB also effective treatment is there.so no need to worry.
thanks
