For the past five days I have been having a strange pain in my left lung. It all started Sunday afternoon. I was taking a nap and was woken up by the sound of my heart, it was beating very fast and I notice I was having trouble breathing. I could get small shallow breaths but not a deep satisfying breath. This happens to me often so I did not think much of it. About a half hour after this started I got a sudden sharp pain in my upper back. It felt like I had been stab with a knife, and at this time it became very difficult to breathe and very painful. I did not want to make a big deal out of it so I tried to ignore it and hope it would go away on its own. A few hours went by and I was not feeling any better and still having a hard time breathing, the top of my chest and throat felt very tight. I thought that if I could just get a deep breath the pain would stop, so I asked a friend if I could barrow his inhaler. This was a mistake; the inhaler intensified the pain so badly that I could not even walk. The pain was so bad I was shaking all over. Another friend of mine that works at a doctor’s office had me lie down and take 2 IB prophin. After a short time the pain started to dull and I was able to breath better. Like I said in the beginning it has been five days and the pain is still there. Does anyone know what this might be; I do not have insurance and would appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you,
