Back pain and asthma

[Brenviking]

Does anybody suffer with back pain when asthma flare up occur? I sometimes get pain the middle of my back behind my chest.

I get this. I'm really not sure what causes it, but it often seems to precede a flare or attack. Hope you get some answers x

I get this too. I blame it on over worked muscles was well as the fact that the nerves that supply your lungs come from that location so that's where you feel it when they are 'sore'...(kind of like when your leg hurts but it's coming from you back...) xxx

I have had Asthma for years and normally it is with the coughing or it could be an infection in your lunng.

I would go to the doctor before it gets worse.

Might need antibiotics.

Hope this helps

Hi Brenviking

I asked our nurses team your question if you have or are recovering from a chest infection or a bad cough, this can happen. As reiterated on the thread, do make an appointment to see your GP or asthma nurse. Please feel free to give our nurses team a ring on 0300 222 5800 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm).

Hope that helps,

I get this too. I see a chiropractor for back problems regularly and he always picks up on it. He helps me a lot.
