Why My Shoulder Pops When I Take Deep Breath?
For about a month now my right shoulder tends to pop when I breathe in deeply when I lie down on my back, and recently, when I am just sitting down upright. It isn t painful at all, but it is somewhat uncomfortable and annoying as it seems to be happening more frequently lately. I m thinking that it may be due to my posture but I am uncertain. Please help me figure out whats wrong with my shoulder!

Hello,
i have studied your case. if popping means that there is cracking sound then it is not a serious issue and you can ignore it. If there is sub lunation of the shoulder then it can be due to weak muscles and it needs proper checkup for this you need to take ultrasound of the shoulder to see if there is any abnormal tendon moving.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
