Cheats pains

[Cath05]

I’m 30 and recently had a asthma attack and this has left me with a dull ache in my sternum. I struggled to get any doctor or an apppointment with nhs 111 for my asthma and they left me all night and I couldn’t breathe (i was having an asthma attack). I’m worried this delay has done something to my chest? The pain is about a 5 out of 10. Not sure what to do

Hi sorry to hear this. You might get more responses however if you put your post in the asthma forum on here. x

This could be due to a tight muscle. A McTimony chiropractor should be able to untighten the muscle. My understanding is that there is a ligament pull on the sternum as a result of over contracted muscle action. This leads to a dull ache.

Whether I am right or not can only be found by investigation.
