Hi,
For almost a month now I have had discomfort when inhaling, even more discomfort inhaling deeply. It is in my sternum area. Nothing has helped; prednisone, oral antibiotics, inhaled antibiotics, iv's. I don't know how to explain the feeling that well. It kind of feels like when I had sinus surgery 12 years ago and got atelectasis from the anesthesia. When I start coughing it eventually gets better, the deeper I breathe the less discomfort. But when I wake up in the morning, I'm very uncomfortable taking in breaths, maybe because I haven't been breathing deeply while asleep. I'm having a lung ct-scan tomorrow.
Anyway, does anyone have this and if so, what have you done to make it go away or diminish the discomfort?
Thanks,
Michelle
