[|Human|] Hi. I am a 48 year old woman. received a Picc line on Monday for IV antibiotics for Lyme disease. Beginning yesterday I have had a sensation of pressure in my upper chest upon taking a deep breath or coughing. Pressure is worse if my chin is pointed down towards my chest. X-ray after Picc insertion looked good. Is this something I should worry about?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about this symptom (pressure in upper chest) as your chest x-ray is normal. So PICC (peripheral inserted central catheter) is not causing this symptom. In my opinion, you should not pay much attention to this symptom. Just do deep breathing and be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
