Re: collapsed/punchured lung????
Yeah, I've had some on-again off-again pleuritic condition since I was a little kid. All of a sudden it hurts to breathe in, say, X amount. So I slowly force myself to breathe in X+1 amount... now it doesn't hurt to breathe up to X+1 amount, so I force myself to breathe X+2, etc, until the pain goes away.
Doctors don't really care to hear about it. I think they want me to die.

go get some bloodwork done. You might have high cholesterol. Do you eat a lot of fried food/fast food? You definitely should seea dr. though. I get chest pains when I breathe in too. But its pretty rare when it happens. I do what joseph does until it goes away. Havent had that pain in several months though.
btw: the antihistamine ? was directed at the other guy with allergies...

Re: collapsed/punchured lung????
where is your pain exactly? is it right where the ribs meet up with the sternum?
I hate giving out medical advice over the net... just go see a damn doctor. Go to the "Urgent Care Center" or the local ER. Better to walk into the ER now than being carried into the ER later.

its behind my sternum. it feels like something is trying to poke through when i take deep breaths. which i have to do often because of my shortness of breath
