As some of you may have read in previous posts, I have had rib/chest and back pains for a few weeks now following a bad cough.
It got worse last night when I felt something pop in my back.
Anyway the pain around my front/side ribs is still present, sharp when I breathe in and when I cough.
I went back to doctors today, she listened to my chest and it was clear...she took my oximeter level on finger and it was 98%.
The first thing she mentioned was the possibility of a blood clot, this of course sent my anxiety soaring. I thought it was more muscular due to the strain of coughing.
She said its unlikely to be a blood clot but now I feel short of breath - feels like anxiety breathing though but can't be sure.
