Q: Everytime i lay down i get a sharp pain on my upper back it wraps around from my back to my chest to the point where i have a hard time breathing ?
Hi J3nn1f3r:
You need to go in and be assessed by a physician. Anytime there is chest pain or new symptoms related to chest pain it needs to be assessed right away to determine if it is something serious related to the heart. Chest pain is never to be taken lightly. Here is a link discussing Heart Attack Symtpoms.
At least going in and getting some answers can give you peace of mind, knowing what is really causing your problems. It may be something less serious, but atleast you know. Here is another link where you can Check Your Symptom.
Take care,
Tara
