Hi
For a while now I have noticed a rattle in my right lung. It only really happens when I'm lay down. I mentioned it to my doctor a while ago and it was just ignored and was told "it's anxiety"!
Well, it's been getting worse! I had trouble with my breaathing again last night whereby the air in my lungs kept being pushed out, like my lungs had gone into a spasm and were tightening suddenly. I was obviously anxious due to this and had an awful time sleeping. I kept waking in the night and everytime I did I could feel this "rattle" again. It kind of feels like something is grinding! I also noticed a few months ago that my ribs on the right seem to cave in and I'm thinking that this may be related! When I asked the doctor about my ribs when I first noticed it, he just said they're fine! My friends have since pointed out how strange my ribs look as the "caved in" part is clearly visible!
Does anyone else have this or know of anyone that does or know if it might be serious or not? I'm really panicking about it! Please help! Thanks!
