Back pain and difficulty breathing

Breath is a rather complex physiological act. When the body it's all good, we don't realize how to breathe. But at times you can feel the pain in the back during the inhale. That is due? Let us see how is the breath, and what organs are involved in this process.

Back pain inspiratory – dangerous if it is

During inhalation involved not only in the bronchi, and the lungs but also the diaphragm, the muscles of the chest, chest and neck, and also the intercostal nerves. The breathing process is regulated in the brain and the spinal cord. When the intercostal muscles are in an abbreviated form, the state, and the diaphragm is lowered, the volume of the abdominal cavity becomes smaller, and the volume of the rib cage on the contrary increases. Increased the volume of the chest dilates the lungs, through the bronchi, there permeates the air. Consequently, in the lungs take place the processes of gas exchange.

Understand how the inhalation of air, we see, that can cause pain in the back during the inhale.

Pneumonia is one of the reasons

The pain when breathing back pain may occur due to various reasons, but the main one is that the well-oiled mechanism of breathing is disturbed. Because of a mechanism of an respiratory can give an error? Often the causes are diseases of the chest, abdomen, localized in the area of the vertebral column diseases that affect the muscle system-the muscular system and the surrounding tissue. The back pain during inhalation can also occur during pregnancy.

In cases, when, with a deep breath, backache, the pain may appear later developed pneumonia, accompanied by pleurisy. Sheets of the pleura, which is opposite to the other, to thicken due to the inflammatory process. During the in-breath begin to rub against each other, and that causes a characteristic pain when I breathe back. Usually, this symptom only accompanies other: shortness of breath, increased temperature, cough and general weakness. During this illness because of a cough may appear as pain in the back muscles. This is due to the fact that when you cough the muscles of the back and of the thorax subjected to an excessive load. Accumulated in the muscles of lactic acid given pain to the back during the inhale.

Reflections of pain

"When I breathe, back pain" – with these complaints often turn to the doctor. This symptom can be a sign of diseases of organs located in the abdomen. Some of these diseases can lead to back pain on the right. Pain in diseases of the stomach, appendicitis, gall-bladder, etc. often have reflected the forecast. That is, the patient feels the pain away from the body concerned. The pain spread in projection regions.

When breathing back pain occurs because of omissions of the diaphragm and increasing intra-abdominal pressure. Reflections of the pain of this type is also observed in the tumor cell processes, when the tumor is localized in the organs of the abdominal cavity.

The problem with the spine?

However, often, when it is difficult to breathe, back pain, the causes can be found in the disease, is breast-feeding, top-of the lumbar spine, but also in the nearby muscles. What are the diseases?

In the first place, back pain lumbar and thoracic departments, accompanied by the counterweight of the intervertebral discs. During the last patient also often feels that he was hurting the spine of the chest.

In the second place, very often during the in-breath back pain with different traumas to the spinal column.

In the third place, when the neuralgia between the ribs.

In the fourth place, when the lumbar or breastfeeding radicolite, and even when myositis. They often accompany the pain in the back after sleeping.

The reason for the development of the above mentioned were the adverse factors, such as the different violations of the metabolic processes, the direct mechanical effects, but also of hypothermia. In such cases, the back pain, hurts to breathe due to damage to the peripheral nerves. In the airway during muscles and the ribs is in motion, in consequence of this movement affected the nerves and generate pulses of pain.

Treatment

As already noted, the reasons for the back pain, difficulty in breathing, various. So it is very important not to treat is not clear that, and go to a clinic for a qualified full diagnostics of all systems and organs. In the examination must include x-rays, ECG, ULTRASOUND of internal organs if you suspect a disease. Explore the mucosa of the esophagus and the stomach. And pathology of the vertebral column is more effective identified with magnetic RESONANCE imaging.

Difficulty breathing, pain in the back – immediately seek medical attention!

The causes of sensations, as if crushing in the chest area

When the pressure in the chest, the man immediately begins to worry about heart disease. In fact, most of the diseases manifest such a symptom, because of the defeat of the myocardium or heart muscle. However, there are many other reasons, in which it appears oppressive pain in the chest: osteoporosis, ribs, neurologic diseases, myopathy. To identify the source of painful sensations, it is recommended that the algorithm for the differential diagnosis of pathologies described in the article.

The main causes of

Compresses the chest with the following diseases:

• osteochondrosis of spine – pathology, which is accompanied by a reduction of the height of the segment, and the violation nerves. The compression of the nerve is accompanied by blunt or sharp pains, which are after the physical activity;
• gastroesophageal reflux (cast of the stomach contents into the esophagus) occurs after a meal. When it compresses the breast to cause spastic contractions of the skeletal muscle food the wall. Next to the body is the trachea, and then in this pathology difficult to breathe;
• between the ribs neuralgia – a result of degenerative disc disease of the thoracic or injury to the ribs. When the disease inflames the nerve fibers, which takes place in the period between the ribs. The pain intensifies when it bends, the upper part of the trunk. Breathing difficult for neuralgia between the ribs because of the impossibility of expansion and contraction of the chest wall when breathing movements;
• peptic ulcer and gastritis – the diseases, accompanied by a strengthening of the gastric juices in peace (before the meal). On the background of pathology in the cavity of the stomach accumulates gas, leading to an enlargement of the organ. An increase of its volume is accompanied by pressure on the diaphragm, then the patient to breathe and the feeling that has squeezed the heart;
• pulmonary embolism is a disease that is characterized by occlusion of the pulmonary artery trumpets (blood clot), or on a plane. When the pathology is observed a strong oppressive pain. Without a timely treatment pulmonary embolism causes death of a person;
• panic attacks, in which the compression of the pain blends with other manifestations of the disease: increased respiratory rate, increased force of contraction of the heart, convulsions, and muscle spasms;
• angina pectoris – increased pressure in the chest due to violation of the heart during myocardial hypoxia. Pathogenetic ring of the disease is the lack of blood with the defeat of coronary artery trumpets or atherosclerotic plaque. The disease can be the result of a long period of stress;
• aortic dissection is difficult to consider as the main cause of pain, as well as its probability of occurrence does not exceed 5%. However, the pathology is combined with the atmosphere, the scent in the middle of the chest. The symptoms grow rapidly, and without treatment lead to the death of a man.

The reasons often cause pressure in the chest to the right and to the center. The detection and treatment of the disease helps prevent serious complications. However, the diagnosis must consider other causes of disease.

Because it obstructed the breath

While solving, because the patient to breathe in for the pain in the right chest, doctors must face a lot of pathological conditions. To clarify the causes of the disease have conducted a series of diagnostic tests:

• by asking the patient to lift the right arm upwards. If the person has the sensation that tightens the right heart, disease, probably caused neurological states (panic attacks, between the ribs neuralgia);
• analyze the cardiac rhythm. If it is fast, we can not exclude heart disease. For these objectives is assigned to ECG, ULTRASOUND of the heart and of the council of the cardiologist after you have identified the negative results of the search;
• when tightening of the chest during breathing, it can be assumed tumor of the mediastinum, or lung disease. In such a situation, the rational allocation x-ray or флюорографии of the lung. These symptoms, such as cough, phlegm and fever, and confirm the hypothesis;
• so much press right after the food intake – symptoms indicative of disease of the esophagus or stomach. To clarify the causes of the pain is assigned esophagogastroduodenoscopy and a series of biochemistry (amylase, ALT, AST, bilirubin);
• if it compresses the upper part of the trunk to the right when swallowing, it can be assumed laryngitis. For the definition of the disease, the doctor will examine the throat and will appoint a specialist. If you suspect sinusitis will have to do an x-ray of the paranasal sinuses;
• after the injury of the person, also difficult to breathe. Fracture of the ribs on the right, accompanied by difficulties in the breathing process.

Data causes of pain in the right side of the chest are the most common, but we can not exclude other etiological factors of the disease. For their identification it is necessary to consult a doctor. Causes of pain on the left

If you experienced a sharp pain in the left side of the chest and breathing, the symptom may be due to the following causes:

• aneurysm of the aorta – beam skins ship with the accumulation in the blood and the pressure on the surrounding tissues. The disease is confirmed on angiography (the study of vessels with the introduction into their midst of contrast);
• coronary heart disease (angina pectoris) and myocardial infarction – a life-threatening disease. When their chest tightens so that it is difficult to breathe, and there is fear for their life. The sensation of pain to the left indicate the defeat of the great volume of the heart muscle;
• gastric ulcer – if it crushes your chest after a meal. In most cases, the pain will weaken after taking the pill (but-spa);
• pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) also causes a strong pain in the left chest wall. Has improved on the backdrop of the admission of the food;
• the hiatal hernia is characterized by breathing difficulties after the meal. The pathology occurs due to the loss of the bowel in the thoracic cavity through weak spots in the opening;and
• diseases of the spine with compression of the nerve roots.

This list of causes of pain is not definitive. Right to the chest cause pain can a large list of pathological conditions. We have described only the most frequent.

Because it compresses the breast to the center

Chest pain in the middle occurs when all of the above conditions. There are a number of pathological conditions, in which it narrows in the center:

• muscle spasms occur during exercise, stress and nervous experiences. During the intake of muscle relaxants disease disappears by itself;
• lateral deformation of the spine (scoliosis) that may compress the soft tissues located in the chest cavity. If you can be the violation of the system of the muscle and the cartilage of the structures and nerves. A similar situation is observed in the disease of Bechterew, osteochondrosis and hernia of the intervertebral disc.

If chest pain occurs after exercise and nervous stress, one cannot rule out neurological pathology.

In children with these symptoms should check the the throat. In this case, it is possible the emergence of feelings, which tightens the chest in the middle.

What to do

When tightening in the chest, you must do the following:

1. Call an ambulance, as well as some of the causes of diseases that are life-threatening.
2. To take a sitting position and try to relax.
3. In stable angina, take the pill nitroglycerin under the tongue.
4. Try quietly and evenly breathing.

In this way, etiological factor, because the chest in the center, left and right, many. Determine the direct cause of the disease, only a doctor can. Not only you can heal it is dangerous for life!
