Burning sensation in the lungs requires consideration of three aspects: First, lung problems. Lung lesions including pleurisy and tuberculous pleurisy can cause burning pain in the lungs associated with breathing. Second, thoracic parts including cardiopulmonary diseases, burning sensation in the lungs cannot be ruled out. Cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction and angina pectoris can cause burning sensation in the lungs due to recurrent episodes of myocardial ischemia. Thirdly, it is necessary to consider the burning sensation in the lungs caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease, which mostly occurs at night when lying down, poor rest, stress, and the feeling of heartburn and chest tightness that occurs when eating food that is not easy to digest, which can be considered as gastroesophageal reflux and other diseases. If the burning sensation in the lungs occurs on both sides of the rib cage, it is necessary to take a medical history to find out whether the patient has suffered from intercostal neuralgia, shingles, etc. If the patient suffers from this disease, the burning sensation in the lungs can last for more than a year, and it is necessary to give nerve-nourishing drugs and antiviral drugs.
