Hi Everyone, I have been having upper back discomfort(I wouldn't really call it pain) for a few days now, and I feel like it's impacting my ability to take good breaths. If it doesn't improve soon, I will go see my PCP. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

    I had a muscle spasm in my upper back about 6 months ago, that made it hard to breathe deeply. It took probably a few days to start feeling better and about a week to completely go away. We knew it was muscle because my husband could press on the area.

    If you feel like you really can't breathe, definitely consider getting evaluated! Hope you feel better.
