Does your tightness in your chest come on all of a sudden at rest and if you do activity? My ribs and sternum do not really hurt though I do get a cramping, dull ache type of pain below my ribs and sternum. I notice if I sit down at the computer, chest tightening comes on and if I put my feet up on the coffee table, I get chest tightening and need to change position. Even get chest tightening just lying in bed or on the sofa. Activity makes the chest tightening worse.
Smoked what? Weed? Because sometimes weed does that to you as you have to inhale very deeply. Is it weed and are you unused to smoking it?
no that does not definitely mean that you got hiv..go for a hiv test at 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result..

Does anyone else experience sudden feelings like their chest is tight and they can't breathe? Even though I don't consciously feel anxious, I am having on/off waves of feeling like I can't breathe and I really HATE that feeling!
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.
t eat much and not sleeping well, reason why was that i was worried about pain that was in my testicle but found out that is was a epidyimal cyst and that it was nothing to worry about. Now i am back to my routine and seem to be having some chest tightness. I am wondering if it was from all the stress i was putting myself under or is it probably from my ablation and it is just healing? Idk I go see the doctor who performed my ablation on friday.
Sorry, I wasn't sure where to post this. I am totally freaking out and my doctor is blowing me off with "don't worry yet". I had a ct scan with contrast which they want to repeat in 3 months.
The findings: The lungs are well expanded. Mild diffuse interstitial prominence is noted. This is non-specific but could be related to chronic or acute process. At the lung apices, there are speculated parenchymal opacities which appear to be pleural based.
The x-ray came back normal except the doctor stated in his findings that my interstitium was slightly coarse for my age. What does that mean? I tried doing research about it and all I could find was information about Pulmonary Fibrosis and Hypersensitivity Pneumonia. I am starting to get a little concerned. Any information would be helpful.
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.
My doctor never really explained except to say that I had bronchitis which turned into asthmatic bronchitis. I do not have a history of asthma. So what exactly is asthmatic bronchitis? Does this mean I now have asthma? Also I am using the inhaler when I feel shortness of breath or start coughing uncontrollably is this right or should I only be using it when I have chest tightness?
Please help!
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.
