Suggest Remedy For Chest Problem

I have had a PICC line in for 10 days due to malabsorbtion in small intestine. Yesterday I started feeling tight chested and then proceeded to vomit all night. I feel like I got run over by a truck and just want to sleep and have someone breathe for me. What could be going on?

Hello and thank you for asking.

As you explain your complains and based in what you have undergone (PICC line) my opinion is that this felling of breath and vomiting are not related with lung problems.
It is better that the PICC line to be controlled again probably with an abdominal ultrasound to see what is going on.

Thank you
