Hi I have severe pain on my lung area and upper back also lung area I had been diagnosed that my torasic area gets swollen and that due to that my lungs have no space to inflate and deflate so its very hard for me to yawn or take deep breaths cause of the pain i feel on my chest and back I was told that Flovent or proventil would help but which one is better Thanks Lydia
Hi Lydia, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Flo vent is a corticosteroid and helps in immune suppression and useful in allergies2. Proven til is helpful in reducing bronchospasm.3. At present, you do not have any bronchospasm or any allergic reactions. Your symptoms are more structural than functional. Both would not be helpful in preventing pain in lung area. Upper back pain could be due to thoracic vertebral abnormalities. Muscle strengthening, posture training and NSAIDs painkillers like celecoxib will be helpful. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
