Chest Discomfort and Breathing

[Darrin]

For the last month and a half I have had shortness of breath. And I cant seem to breath in deeply.  When I try to breath in deeply, there is a small pain in my mid to upper back area. It seems as though my lungs are very restrictive in regards to my ribcage as well.  I am a 35 year old male who has smoked for 10 years. I recently have beaten the habit and I havent had a cigarette in 5 months and I will never go back.
Can this be some sort of Lung Disease?

Thank you

The comment posted about oxycottin, hydrocodone, morphine, etc. in regaurds to breathing problems was suggested by that individual because all opiate based drugs cause respiratory problems. On most of these perscriptions they warn you on the bottle of the possibility of experiencing shortness of breath. When a person overdoses their heart stops and the cease breathing but they are still alive for a short while. They actually die from suffication.

Can anyone explain what this question that was posed above means or has to do with the poster's symptoms?  "Have you at any point been prescribed Vicodin, Hydrocodine, Percocet, OxyCottin, Roxicodone, Morphin?"

Thank you.

Since I have similar symptoms, could you explain the significance of oxycodone, etc. ?

You really need to have testing done in order to know if this is some sort of lung disease.  The best way to start would be a simple breathing test called spirometry and a chest x-ray.

IF the pain in your back is just below the waistline on one side or both and is more signifcant on inhaling, it could be your kidney is infected or damaged.
