Hi there
Your description of your symptoms is exactly the same as mine
Im relieved to finally discover there are others out there with same condition
Mine started over three weeks ago

Tightness in right lung when deep breathing
Moderate pain
No cough
I also sometimes feel a radiation up to my neck when deep breathing.
It’s worse at night when I lie down in bed
I sleep on my left side and I felt it
Turned to my right dude and had some relief
Otherwise no pain or tightness with shallow breathes
I’ve tried pain killers NSAID
I’ve tried inhaler but no effect

I wondered if something happened at the time of the onset

These are the things I noted:

I had been playing pickleball regularly maybe a little too much, but never breathlessness during that matches
I had to stop PB abruptly because I hurt my lower back, over extending
Another thing I changed before onset was I quit drinking alcohol. I didn’t drink large volumes in one sitting but I did have a few drinks every day

I see my doctor tomorrow for annual physical so will discuss with her

I feel I’m going to have a similar run around which no diagnosis
I just can’t afford to pay for all those tests I have terrible insurance

It now leaves me wondering if it has something to do with a COVID variant 🤷‍♀️

Anyway I wanted to share my experience to see if perhaps any others had similar life changes before onset

Welcome comments and advice

Thank you
