Bad lung, bad!
Sep. 1st, 2007 06:26 pmMy right lung hurts. More specifically, I have a pain toward my back ribs on the right side that is worst when I breathe deeply. Feels kind of like an icepick. Hurts to lie on my back. I can't sneeze because I can't do that initial breathing in thing. Just stops short when the pain sears.
I can't figure out if it's costo (acting up in a much different place than usual) or if it's a remnant of that asthma attack I had. I'm also short of breath, but that could be asthma (pollen is crazy high) or a reluctance to breathe deeply. I can't really isolate a specific area between the ribs that seems inflamed, as I normally can with a costo flare.
I've not felt something quite like this before. It's really disconcerting. I hope it can wait til Tuesday. I probably should've called my doctor this morning (it started late last night, out of nowhere). I just figured it was a muscle spasm.
Very weird. I wonder if I should not go hiking tomorrow.
