I was doing breathing exercise (yoga) the
other day and I really tweaked my back
badly. Now I have trouble taking deep
breaths and it feels like my lungs are
hitting my ribs when I breathe. It also
feels like my spine has gone in a bit
making it hard to take deep breaths. Its
been six days, my back pain is virtually
gone but my breathing is still shallow. I
had a chest x-ray done which was normal.
My question is, will my breathing improve
over time cause I am in quite a bit of
discomfort. Please help !!! All answers
are appreciated

Hello Ashish,
Welcome to this forum!!
Sorry to read about your back and
brea"hing problem, It was a good idea to
have the chest x-rays. However Ashish,
the "problem" may not be with your chest
(lungs) but perhaps with your back.
If things don't improve a a couple of days
may I suggest that you seek the advice of
a spinal surgeon. Its that "tweaked myu
back badly", and "feels like my spine has
gone in a bit" is concerning. As with all
medical issues (especially backs) it is
always best to seek medical advice early
on. Far FAR too many people don't seek
medical advice and help in a timely
manner.
Let us know how things progress for you.

Hello,
While looking up information on acute
shoulder blade pain I happened on your
post and wanted to say that a few years
ago I actually had something very similar.
In my case the doctor said that I had a
pinched nerve and the pain was causing at
first was small grade anxiety attacks
which was causing more pain it was a 2
fold. The doctor gave me anxiety
medication and then pain medication I had
to take the anxiety medication to calm the
attack down then take the pain medication
for the pain. If I didn't take the anxiety
meds I could take all the pain meds I
wanted nothing would work.
Granted this is in my situation but either
way if it keeps up do go to a doctor
because in my case I didn't keep up with
it as much as I should have and now have
major chronic pain in the shoulder blade.
Good luck and I hope everything goes back
in place soon
