What Causes Pain In The Back While Taking Deep Breaths?
I have a huge air bubble in back and can t get any relief. It hurts to take a deep breath and to walk sometimes. I ve tried walking it off, the pain is in my back, not my abdominal area. I ve also tried drinking carbonated drinks, and chamomile tea to relax my body so it could pass as gas, but still nothing has worked. How do i get relief?

Hello,
As there is a bubble present as per you in the mid thoracic region which hurts while breathing , I think it's better to get it examined. If it is in the spinal region we need to assess it with the help of MRI. If it's not at the spinal region, then we need an x-ray to rule out any of the lung pathology. In case if both of this thing is negative then it can be drained on the clinical basis and could be muscular.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
