Avatar n tn Hello All, For the past 6 months I have had a tight feeling in my left chest, sometimes to the left of my chest, and sometimes more in the middle. I have seen a cardiologist, and had an Echocardiogram, Multiple EKG's, a 24 hour holter monitor, a stress test and a stress echo in addition to a CT Angiography. All has come back normal. I still have the tightness in my chest and I feel short of breath a lot of the time. Other symptoms I am experienceing are lightheadeness, and fatigue.
1756592 tn?1315363237 I'm currently on the triple therapy with incivek. I'm taking my 4th shot tomorrow. For the past three days I've had a tightness in the middle of my chest right under my breast bone/above my stomach. It doesn't hurt but it's uncomfortable and it comes and go throughout the day but I notice it more at night when I'm laying down. Has anyone experienced this feeling? The best way I can describe it is a feeling like someone is squeezing the inside of my chest.
Avatar f tn For about 3 months, I have been experiencing chest tightness especially at night. It is worst around 2-4 in the morning. My chest feels tight on the left side. When I put my hand on top of it and apply a little pressure, it feels better. As soon as I take my hand off, it goes back to feeling tight. I am a little freaked out because, of course, when I put my hand on top of the area, I can feel my heart beat so I know it's really close or right on top of my heart.
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 m tn My issue is I started to feel better at the start of my my second round of antibiotics but now I feel bad again... I feel like I got tightness in the center of my chest like the top part of my lungs wont open up... I don't have to much of a cough or mucus production and no fever. But I do have asthma and do smoke since I was 18 and am now 21.
Avatar n tn I have had difficulty with tightness in chest, shortness of breath, occasionaly sharp pains in the upper part of my lung, and some digestive problems for about 1 year. My doctor thought it was GERD. I had a barium swallow done and an ultrasoun and breathing test. All negative. I was put on Priolsec a two different times, and nothing has changed. What might this be?? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.
Avatar m tn For a week, I have had tightness in my chest. It doesn't hurt, just a constant tight feeling. I have no problems breathing or swallowing. I have been having back muscle stiffness, and overall muscle tingling. For the past two months I have had major sinus drainage from allergies.
Avatar f tn Does it start in the middle but also radiating to under the right ribs and into the back ? It may be some gall bladder problem, it may be a good idea to have it checked out.
Avatar n tn it is almost 3 weeks, when i get up in the morning my chest in the middle feeling tightness or heavy feeling on my chest. i am afraid, i have done ecg 2 months back it was normal. Please assist your suggestion is very important for me. Still having chest pain at one point and at the middle of the chest. very painful at the morning time when i get up then later it small pain. Ecg was done 2 months back it was ok.
Avatar m tn also, i was getting mild, short fevers and cold sweats a couple of nights along with tightness in the chest and feeling weak and fatigued. i went to the DR, he prescribed me Z-pack (3 days) and told me to get a chest xray if it doesnt go away after about 6 days (he was going on vacation the following week). i also started taking robitussin DM which i should have been doing from the beginning. anyway, the fevers and cold sweats went away but the cough and the lung 'movement' remained.
245504 tn?1224099316 I have had anxiety/panic attacks for at least 12 years. I am in one of my anxious kicks (hypochondriac) lately and am experiencing a "new" symptom of intermittent chest tightness on the upper left side of my chest (almost near shoulder). It just comes and goes and it is just a tight sensation. I have read this could be anxiety and am wondering if anyone else experiences this. FYI I recently had a echo done that was all good and holter monitor showing Sinus Rhythm/Sinus Tach.
Avatar f tn hi all, im a 15 year old girl who is fit and healthy apart from this fustrating weird tightness that I have been suffering from for 8 months now. back in 2009, I went on hoilday from my home in NZ to England which is a long filght of around 24 hours. 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.
Avatar f tn Breathing correctly can reverse those feelings VERY quickly. Breathing too shallow can upset the balance in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. When we breath in, we take in oxygen, when we exhale, we give off carbon dioxide........when that balance changes, our bodies react..........
Avatar f tn Hi I am wondering if any of you have experienced chest tightness, or funny feeling in the pit of your stomach associated with withdrawals. I am on day 6 of a massive decrease in dose (i'm tapering). At about the same time everyday (before I would take the norco) I feel a tightening in my chest. My pulse and blood pressure are fine??? Is this common for withdrawal? What can I do to make it better? I'm trying not to take any ativan for it. Thank you any support will help.

Avatar f tn I am 7 weeks pregnant with my first child and I have this uneasy feeling in my chest. Right at my breastbone. It's like a tightness. I looked it up and I guess it might be heartburn? But I have it all the time. Anyone else have that feeling?

Avatar n tn my husband age 49 has has had tightness in his chest for 2-3 weeks now. We went to the ER and they determined his blood tests were normal, lung sounds, blood pressure, pulse, ekg, chest xray and ultrasound of liver,kidneys, gall bladder and aorta all normal. admitted overnight, never could determine cause. He has asthma and family history of heart disease but everything is checking out normal. He is healthy, active and not overweight.
Avatar n tn If I am right, you should quickly be feeling normal again. If the symptom of shortness of breath or chest tightness recurs, you should see your primary physician for further evaluation. That it doesn’t bother you anymore when you work out is a good sign.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn I do not know if it´s my mind playing tricks on me, but I feel certain tightness in my chest, like the air is quite thick and also, like a lump in my throat. Have no cough, nor anything else.
