Yeah, so when I breath deep and lean forward, I have a sort of sharp pain in my middle-ish right back area, kind of near the rib cage maybe. My first thought is, of course, I'm going to die from lung cancer. Naturally I have no other symptoms of lung cancer, but you know how it goes. Paranoia sets in pretty quick.
I've had the pain for about a week to the best of my knowledge, and yes, I'm going to see a doctor. Just thought I'd see if anyone here has had something like this.
Breathing as deep and as hard as I can produces no pain, only the back area hurts when I lean forward with full lungs, like its putting pressure on and stretching the muscles back there. My lung capacity seems fine and I can work out and run without issues. No coughing issues. Just the back pain.
I'm hoping I just strained a muscle during deadlifts or tweaked a muscle somehow. I'd even settle for a blown disc if I had to choose between that and lung cancer. Too bad I don't get to choose.
Anyway, you guys ever have back pain like that? All my internet searches tell me I have heart failure, heart attack, cancer, dead already but don't know it yet etc.

Well, Colbert, dj has some questions....

And it wasn't "heart failure, heart attack, cancer, dead already but don't know it yet etc. "
