Why do I have a pain in my left shoulder blade when breathing?
Without knowing some important details about your health history I offer this:referred pain from the Vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) is known to refer pain from the abdomen to the shoulder blades during inhaling. This is a common side effect from excessive CO2 buildup in the abdomen post surgery in the abdomen or thorax region. The CO2 cause a pressure build up that can trigger the Vagus nerve and induce a response. This nerve has innervation duties from the parasympathetic portion of the nervous system allowing for confusion at times as to where the pain signal is originally from. This can lead to referred pain sensation.
I'm 15 and having chest(near heart) and shoulder pain.. help me please!<3?
This condition is called "Da Costa syndrome", it is due to stress. Another possibility is panic disorder, given your description of unpredictable episodes of pain. Chest pain due to cardiac problems is rare in someone your age. A general rule is: - if you can point with ONE finger where the pain is, it is not cardiac - if the pain radiates down below your elbow, it is not cardiac Have you had blood work done in the past for homocysteine, triglycerides, cholesterol? Cardiac stress test? Do you have high blood pressure? Any family history of heart disease? stroke? If you are concerned, see your doctor for evaluation. ADDENDUM: Your associated symptoms of lightheadedness and fainting might be nothing serious. But it CAN be seen with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy HCOM, which is concerning. Have you had a 2D echo of your heart before? Have you told your doctor about these symptoms before?
Sharp chest pains with deep breathing?
Your description sounds like Pleurisy which is an inflammation of the lining of the lungs that causes pain when you take a breath or cough. Time for a visit to your doctor. When you have pleurisy, the normally smooth lining of the lung become rough. They rub together with each breath, and may produce a rough, grating sound called a "friction rub." The doctor can hear this sound with the stethoscope, or by placing an ear against the chest. Deep breathing, coughing, and chest movement makes the pain worse. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics. Viral infections normally run their course without medications. Patients often can control the pain of pleurisy with acetaminophen or anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen.

What's it feel like to dislocate your shoulder? What do you experience right when it happens? What's the pain like? (Searing, burning, stabbing, dull, throbbing, etc.) What happens at the hospital with a dislocated shoulder? It's for my project for my health class. Thank you! (:
Why can't I breathe deep in the stomach when I maintain a straight posture with my shoulders back?
First check are you breathing properly? Assess the thoraco-abdominal moment while breathing. If it's abdomino-thoracic then you your breathing pattern ia incorrect.This can be reason for pain in long deep breaths.Weakness in breathing muscles can also cause pain while deep breathing.You should start breathing exercises to increase chest excursion.
Why do people bend over when they're out of breath?
You mean like this?And like this?In the medical community, we call this the “Tripod Position” — it is characterized by supporting the upper body by placing hands on the knees or any other solid surface. When seen in a patient, the ‘tripod position’ is a sign of increased work of breathing and respiratory distress.So, why do we instinctively bend forward when we are out of breath?We do so because ‘the bent forward’ position permits an easier recruitment and use of the accessory/secondary muscles of breathing — mainly those in the neck and upper chest.During normal, relaxed breathing, the accessory muscles do not play a part in expanding the chest-wall. However, when we workout or are suffering from lung diseases that greatly increase the work of breathing, the secondary muscles aid in improving breathing mechanics.Here’s an example: Pectoral muscles, commonly known to gym-goers as “pecs” or “chest muscles” look like this.As you can see, Pecs is a fan-shaped muscle that originates from mid-chest (attaching to several ribs, the collarbone, and the breastbone) and ends on the arm bone, called the humerus. So, the muscle has two portions — a chest portion and a shoulder portion.Normally, when we are not exerting ourselves, the shoulder portion of the Pecs works to flex the arm (like when picking up a baby) and pull the arm towards the chest wall (like when flapping the arms). The chest portion of the muscle, in this situation, provides stability so that the shoulder portion can bring about movement.But when we run out of breath and plant our hands on to a solid surface, we are doing exactly the opposite of the above-mentioned scenario.By supporting the arms, we are now stabilizing the shoulder portion of the Pecs muscles and allowing the chest portion to aid is expanding the upper, anterior chest — this helps ease breathlessness.Pecs is the accessory muscle of respiration here.It is debatable if the tripod position brings objective improvement to different lung volumes and capacities. Several studies have presented contradicting data. But subjectively speaking, we can all attest, it sure does feel good!Tripod position - WikipediaImage 1, Image 2, Image 3
