Q: i'm having chest pain when taking deep breath what can i do?
Hi Christopher,
You should see your physician as soon as possible. Often chest pain associated with deep breathing can be a sign that there is either something muscular wrong, you have something wrong with your lungs (such as an infection), or you have something wrong with your heart.
Your physician is the only one who can diagnose the problem and start treatment.
Best of luck,
