What Causes Pressure In The Chest Upon Deep Breathing?

Hello, my son whos is 30 years old is complaining he is feeling pressure in the center of his chest area when ever he takes a deep breath. We have a blood pressure cuff and it reads 114/66 pulse is 89. He has started doing exercises like push ups and light weight training. All in all he feels fine except fotr the pressure when he takes a deep breath.

Hello welcome to the health care magic

Your son has just started exercise...

Hence according to history it points towards muscular strain pain induced by exercise

Before labelling it as muscular pain I need to know... Following details...
1.chest pain present in resting position??
2.fever??
3.cough present??
4. Smoking history??

For muscular pain ibuprofen or Naproxen prescribed for five days

Warm compress beneficial

Better to take rest for few days

Start exercise under trainer and start with light exercise

Avoid strenuous work for seven days

If improvement not seen then I will suggest chest x ray, EKG, CBC investigations and general examination

Hope I have solved your query

Consult nearby doctor for Auscultation and examination with keeping all this in mind
