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 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 f tn I have been on wellbutrin to quit smoking for 10 days now, I have such chest tightness I feel as though I can't breath, like there is no air in my lungs. I heard this is a side effect should I keep taking it?
Avatar f tn every time i breath my lungs hurt...been hurting for a few months.. some days it hurts more then others. and my back has been hurting the same amount of time... doctor told me i do not have pneumonia.. i also dont smoke...
Avatar n tn I have trouble with tightness in my chest. Do your ribs and sternum hurt? Since I had sarcoidosis in the lungs, I have gotten what my doctor refers to as a severe case of costocondritis. Think that's spelled correctly. Anyway, I feel like something is squeezing my chest and it is painful just to touch the ribs and sternum. Anyway, I can certainly appreciate your discomfort because I have been dealing with it a long time.
Avatar f tn I quit smoking 2 weeks ago I used to smoke less than a pack a day for about 3 years, right before I quit I began to feel a slight chest pain that occurs 4 or 5 times a day mostly in the left side of my chest and then it disappears in a minute or two and that's it, no cough no tightness nothing but it worried me a lot so I quit now after 2 weeks I still experience the same pain, what could it possibly be?
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.
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 Symptoms of hyperventitating are numbness in face, lips, hands, arms, fingers. Chest tightness, chest pain, lightheadedness, dizziness, feeling of suffocation, anxiety, panic and these are to name a few. A good technique to use when this happens is to grab a brown paper bag and place over the nose and mouth and try to slow your breathing into it, this will help to return your blood chemistry to normal and stop all the nasty feelings.....
Avatar f tn I am on day 17 and i still feel anxiety and a tightness in my chest. I quit smoking almost 4 months ago along with depression med, topomax and something for leg pain at night.
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 f tn I was told to stop my spiriva in Aug. that I had been using for about 3 yrs. This was after I had a PFT for the first time. I've had three ct scans over the past three yrs. Shows granulomata and calcified nodules..no change. For the past couple of days I've been very SOB and my arms feel weak and heavy. My chest doesn't hurt it just feels tight/full. Today has been worse. I was also put on neurontin 1 1/2 weeks ago for headaches and wonder if that could have anything to do with it.
