Common Questions and Answers about Chest cold shortness of breath

chest

Avatar n tn 2 days ago and he put me on another round of the Zithromiacin. This latest episode of bronchitis has an added component, shortness of breath. I have experienced this at other times when I've had bronchitis, but yesterday and today I am only able to take very shallow inhalations and expirations. My cough is usually triggered and it hurts my chest to breath. My muscles in my chest and back became so tense last night that I decided to soak in a warm bath.
Avatar m tn I went to nose specialist and he said there was a little infection, however he said the shortness of breath was again because of anxiety. He gave me sleeping pills. Now, i had another short of breath and i didn't think it was anxiety. What happen?
Avatar f tn ) A lot of the symptoms that go along with vdd mimic other conditions, including the shortness of breath/chest pain and pressure, arthritis....you will also find that a great many, if not most, ppl with vdd have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I think that vdd actually IS undiagnosed vdd, myself. I second 9na and phyllis regarding sticking with this! It not only takes allot of time, but also can feel just as bad maybe worse before it feels better.
Avatar f tn I also looked up the syptoms of an allergy to the formaldehyde found in carpet and the short term effects are flu like symptoms, and the long term effects are shortness of breath, chest pains or tightness, cough and weezing!! It all fits! I sure hope this is it because I want to get better before allergy season starts back up!!
Avatar m tn Could shortness of breath due to anxiety last all day everyday? How severe could the shortness of breath be?
Avatar m tn Inhaling cold air can cause bronchospasm, which can cause shortness of breath by restricting air flow. If you're not getting much air, you're not getting as much oxygen to the brain, which can make you lightheaded. People can and do develop this kind of cold intolerance (in some ways like an allergy) at any time of their lives, and it is treated much the same way as asthma is treated.
Avatar n tn However, they are not to be taken lightly and MUST be discussed with your Dr. Shortness of breath and chest pains can be symptoms of Heart Problems. I have had a Heart Attack and know what to expect, and I was not overly concerned. But I did immediately discuss this with my Dr.
Avatar f tn I am 26 years old and no family history of heart conditions. On March 11 I had tightness of my left chest, back and shoulder blade. My heart started to beat out my chest and had this shooting pins and needles feeling moving from my left arm to my brian. Rushed myself to the ER and had blod pressure. EKG, Blood Work, Chest X-Ray, ECG and Stress Test. All show negative towards heart attack and normal. They labled this anxiety although I had no stress in my life.
Avatar n tn At the time I had PFT test done becuase I was experiencing anxiety and vague shortness of breath (in the morning waking up). The PFT results were normal and above predicted at that time. However in the past 6 months or so I have developed a mild cough in the early morning. 2 weeks ago during the day I felt short of breath and and had a deep cough for 2 days (no fever or cold symtoms). Also I was more winded that usual during my workouts.
Avatar f tn I've wrote on here before, but I have other questions. I've had shortness of breath for about 3 months now. I have recently had a pulmonary function test where I blew into a spirometer (sp?). My general doctor told me the results came back abnormal and is sending me to a pulmonary doctor. I had a chest x-ray done that showed a calcified mass (non-cancerous).
Avatar f tn I hope this is clearing up for you. I had shortness of breath about 2 weeks ago. At first I didn't think much of it since I was recovering from a cold at the time, but I was getting light headed really really and still having shortness of breath after 3 days. So I went to the ER, and the Dr said it was merely a complication of pregnancy. I was 6 weeks 6 days pregnant, and the Dr said my body was still adjusting to having the growing baby using my oxygen and blood.
Avatar f tn Yes Lynnsee I've had a few panic attacks but usually it's the heart pounding feeling I get this shortness of breath was new to me you could say. But I'm doing better of course I took my meds so that helped too. Stress has slowly gotten to me and we'll like you said I have to relax. Though its much easier said then done.
Avatar n tn Hello. I've had shortness of breath, chest pains and side pains x2 weeks now. I started with this cough that won't go ago a week ago. Went to my dr and she did a chest x-ray and labs. The chest x-ray was normal and all of the labs but the D-Dimer came back normal. They gave me a shot of steroids and started me on prednisone. I've been on the prednisone since last Friday and don't feel any better. I did a stat CT of my chest last Friday which came back fine.
Avatar n tn Hi, for the past 9 days I have had constant shortness of breath. It started with a dry cough, tightness in the chest and shortness of breath but now it's pretty much just the shortness of breath. I also am constantly burping and I feel as if I have a lump stuck in my throat. I have had a chest x-ray, ekg, blood tests and a CT angiogram of my chest done. Everything came out normal.
329994 tn?1301663248 Has anyone on here had shortness of breath with CFS/EBV? I have had several pulmonary function tests and I have a low oxygen diffusion level and they can't figure out why. I had the tests originally because of having the breathing problem. It isn't bad, just sometimes, at rest or when I exercise. Since I am finding out that alot of my other symptoms are symptoms that people have with CFS, I am wondering if this is one too? Thanks for any input.
Avatar f tn i realize this is a common and usually harmless issue so i really havent paid any attention to them. but over the last few months i have started experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath when running (something that ive been doing for the last few years with no problem). also, ive woken up in the middle of the night a few times in the past few weeks having shortness of breath which seems to be a bit better when i sit up or prop up with pillows.
1255151 tn?1413891826 So when I was pregnant with my son I never experienced shortness of breath but with my daighter it was awful!! I am already starting to feel that way again, not sure why so soon... Is anyone else feeling anything like this??
863835 tn?1239150627 Pleuritis is another possibility causing shortness of breath with chest pain. But since you do not have a history of cough, cold and fever, the chances are less. If you have a suggestive history then this needs to be further investigated by a chest specialist. Pulmonary embolism is another possibility causing shortness of breath with chest pain. A CT scan of the chest can rule out both.
Avatar n tn the answer to all your questions are no, I walk the equivalent of 1/2 acre before I am short of breath
Avatar f tn Hi, Its been almost 4 months I had feeling of shortness of breath and chest discomfort in the middle/between the chests like sliding each other and feeling sounded crack. Before all these symptoms started almost 8months now I had cold flu type..like I cough a lot with nothing serious like blood and all..but it continued almost a month even though I had some antibiotics..
Avatar m tn I have the shortness of breath all the time, but it does get worse if I clean the house, talk for a long time, or even walking in the mall. I just don't know what on earth is going on, and I'm constantly worrying about what this could be. The lung specialist said he thinks it's asthma. I really want a CT Scan to ease my mind of anything bad that could be going on, so I did mention that. The Dr. said my chest X-Ray was clear, so I don't need that..........
Avatar m tn On January 18th, I experienced a tight chest during a family dinner that caused me to leave early. I took 1.5MG of Ativan after about 1.5 hours of this tight chest and shortness of breath. This seemed to be classic symptoms of a panic attach, which I have never experienced in my life. There was no obvious triggers as the family dinner was pleasant. The 19th I experienced no breathing problems at all. The 20th I had shortness of breath that came and went.
619038 tn?1221337908 Shortness of breath is the result of any one of dozens of diseases of the heart or lungs. If you really "feel great" when you wake up and, if that means that you have no shortness of breath in the early morning, at rest or with exertion, it is highly likely that your problem is related to your activities and exposures during the day; activities and/or exposures that could worsen asthma. That would be the most likely scenario. Unfortunately, anxiety could be another cause. Sorry.
Avatar m tn When I do take a full breath, I feel as though my chest is heavy. This is not happening after any type of physical activity. I went to the Dr. who did an EKG, chest xray and oxygen test. Everything came back fine. My blood pressure was slightly elevated 140 over 90. I went to CVS and took it today and it was 158 over 98. The shortness of breath comes and goes but is getting more persistent. I also feel very bloated and have been burbing often.
Avatar f tn lately I have been getting shortness of breath. Espically after working out. I am not sure if I am making the issue worse because with my anxiey I start to dwell on it. I am really aware of it and now think it may be heart realted. This really ***** to have to deal with. I call the dr and have a appt today. I also thought that maybe it is asthma, which I had as a young child, I am now 39. Or maybe allergies or sinus. Any thoughts????????
