Avatar f tn Within a few days of arriving in the UK, I began to experience a mild chest tightness that wouldnt ease with taking asthma inhalers. i suffered with the tightness for about the first 4 weeks of my 5 week hoilday there. it was strange because after 4 weeks of continous tightness, one morning i woke up and it felt as if a large weight had been lifted from my chest and it felt as though i could breath freely and normally as i did in the past. I was happy!
Avatar f tn I totally understand. Are you being treated for the panic disorder? If you aren't, I would strongly recommend getting into some therapy (CBT) to find the root cause of your panic. Once you've identified that, your therapist can give you a great deal of knowledge to understand why you suffer from it and tools to help you overcome it. Your therapist can teach you various breathing exercises to help when you get that suffocating feeling. They work.
Avatar n tn It has been always five weeks since I was discharged from hospital now and since then I have developed chest tightness in the central region each time I take a deep breath. I also notice that I now feel tire easily and can't do any strenous work as my chest area feel kind of tight and tender. The latest x-ray results (two days ago) showed nothing and the nurse told me that my lungs are all clear. But right now as I write, I feel something not normal with my chest as it feels tight.
1014527 tn?1251057498 Things seems to have slightly improved for a small amount of time but I could never shake off this tightness of chest/tightness on full breathing. One concern was I had thick, yellow-dark yellow mucus for a few days straight at work(I work as a stocker overnight/around dust/etc.) and my temperature was fine. As well as this discomfort in my chest which is located about dead square middle of my breast cavity, sometimes in the ribcage/sternum with sensitivity touching below the sternum.
Avatar f tn I am having pain/tightness/tingling in my left upper chest,arm and left rib cage. I have been to ER few times and Cardiologist. Heart and lungs trashed fine. I am a nervous wreck and don't know what else to do.
Avatar f tn I have been having chest pain, tightness in throat and chest pain. I have been in and out of the doctors for the past two months. They say my lungs are clear. I have been given steriods and have been giving myself breathing treatments at home. I am on advair, sigular, and xolair, nothing is working. I have been trying aromatherapy to relieve the pressure and constant tightness but it is only temporary. I am having difficulty sleeping because I keep waking up with shortness of breath.
Avatar n tn I think it depends on what is "normal" for you. These pulmonary function tests use numbers that are based on population averages. My FEV1 numbers are often well over 120%, and the next person may have a FEV1 of 85% and still be considered normal. It depends on the size of your lungs. I have a huge set of lungs for a person my size, but my asthma gives me a great deal of trouble with outdoor running during the winter time (thanks to cold air).
203342 tn?1328737207 My mom has had really bad chest congestion and coughing for about 3 weeks now. She also has some chest tightness. She sounded terrible today when I called her. I'm worried because she had 3 stints put in her heart about 3 years ago and has heart disease. Could the chest congestion have anything to do with her heart? I'm just a little worried about her and wondered. Thanks for any info on this.
Avatar n tn The first time I had covid, symptoms were very mild, brief sinus headache and congestion but also had mild difficulty taking deep breaths, it was a tightness in the chest. All my symptoms were gone in a few days except for the chest tightness and that weird issue where sometimes taking a deep breath was hard. It got better over the next year or so but recurred on occasion (maybe once a week or so for a few hours).
Avatar m tn i have been suffering with lack of breath and tightness of chest also anxiety attacks. after a visit to hospital and some tests and scans there has been a couple of shadows found on my left lung. i am really quite scared that it can be something that is quite bad and i am wondering if anyone could shed some light on this and what the possibilities are. dont be shy please as im a big boy now and have broad shoulders.
Avatar f tn I CANNOT INHALE OR EXHALE PROPERLY/severe tightness from my Chest to down my upper abdomen around rib cage tightness and goes to my back and spine. Dizziness and sometimes feel faint. Symptoms are all day and night. They only get worse. I cannot do my normal activities due to this. Will be trying a bronchilador that pulmonologist gave me but he is not sure this is asthma. I don’t wheeze and my oxygen doesn’t drop.
Avatar f tn When I feel an asthma attack coming on, I feel short of breath, cant finish a sentence, chest tightness, tired, and all of my muscles ache really bad.. does anyone else have this?
Avatar n tn Do you think tightness of chest, some trouble breathing and lightheadedness could be an asthma symptom? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/206255'>Symptoms after eating/light/noise (lightheaded, difficult swallowing, tingling)</a>.
Avatar m tn Soon after pain, I started to feel tightness in my chest. It is difficult to explain the tightness. It is not tightness caused by congestion. If feels like my chest is heavy or the muscles are laboring more to suck air into my lungs. Today the pain in the back feels more like a burning sensation. It also seems like my face is a little swollen. Any thoughts and help will be appreciated...
Avatar m tn Hello, So I went to the doctor cause I thought I was getting pneumonia and the Doc had me do a PFT (which was low at 70 percent) and a blood O2 test (94 percent) and said that I had bronchitis and put me on some prednisone and a z-pack. After I finshed my meds I still felt the same. So I set up another appointment and right before I went in I started to feel better but my tests only showed I improved ten percent.
Avatar m tn Internist stated it was seasonal allergies but the tightness in my chest has never stopped. Has anybody else had this problem? As of Jan 2015, I no longer have hep c 1a with follow up in one year, but I still feel listless.
Avatar f tn After eating certain foods I get quite a bit of mucus build-up in my lungs and find myself coughing a lot after meals. I'm 17 years old and don't think this is due to acid reflux as I don't have any other symptoms and am quite young. I notice it immediately after I finish eating (not sure if it actually starts during eating as I'm not really focused on how my chest feels while eating). Does anyone have any idea of what this may be?

Avatar n tn For several years I've had inflammed and swolen nasal passages without actual infection. More recently, I've started having a tight feeling in the center of my chest up to the bottom of my throat, and sometimes I will feel vaguely short of breath, or breathlessness that is not associated with exercise. Also alot of lightheadedness.

Avatar m tn It was difficult to breathe and there was tightness in my chest. I went to the doctor and was put on a nebulizer and diagnosed with allergies and acute bronchospasm. I was prescribed Flonase, Claritin, and an Albuterol inhaler to use when needed. The symptoms went away for a few days (it seemed like after the first roach treatment) but now they are back. I noticed that they seemed to get better once they sprayed for roaches, but I also woke up with what seemed like dirt in my nostrils.
