What Causes Cracking Popping Sound When I Breathe?
Question: I have thoracic outlet syndrome and that has caused lymph edema in my arm and upper right chest. Recently I have developed a cracking popping sound when I breathe and a swollen right gland that causes pain when swallowing. I am wondering if it is caused by the fluid build up in my upper chest collarbone neck area.
Brief Answer:
May be from the lymph edema
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The cracking popping sound could be because of the lymph edema on the right chest wall.
Follow up with your treating surgeon or Pulmonologist for further management.
