    Hi Val,
    I get this a lot it's all part of PA for me. However...last November the pain got worse and worse over a week I'd got through my tramadol and breathing was so painful I went to see my GP, who sent me straight to hospital for chest x-ray and then I was put on anti biotics as I had pleurisy. I don't want to frighten you Val and it's unlikely that you have what I had but please go to your GP tomorrow, always better to be on the safe side eh?
    Thinking of you and hoping you feel much better soon

    Hi Val,

    Just wanted to say that although i don't know anything about what your experiencing i think you should go and see your GP tomorrow so that he can just check you over..
    Even if it subsides, just go anyway...
    Hope you feel better soon...(((((X)))))

    Hi Val,

    I hope you've been able to see a doctor and get some reassurance with this. All the best from us at Helplines.
