I have strong pain on my left side from just under left shoulder-blade round to the front just under my left breast I feel short of breath as I don t seem to be able to breathe deeply enough. I have just taken 2 Anadin paracetamol with water, been having pains since about 6 and my feet and ankles seem fairly swollen.

Thank you for your input. I would like to know your age and any history of diseases earlier to be able to comprehend better. Its possible that you could be having some fluid in your chest. I suggest an XRay Chest and an Electrocardiogram to rule out the above. You can continue the medication but should see a Physician with the investigations to get to the root of the problem. Till then I would suggest raising the head end of your bed instead of lying down flat. Feel free to ask again if any more queries there might be. Take care.
