Common Questions and Answers about Chest tightness meaning

chest

Avatar m tn I am almost 3 weeks out from my Bilateral DIEP, and was wondering what is normal for the chest/flap area, meaning, how much discomfort and tightness outside the flaps is reasonable. I have tightness/hardness above the flaps, toward the center of the chest up approx. 2 to 3 inches, going out from the center, but the flaps themselves look and fell fine-where the elliptic scars are.. What kind of symptoms, about three weeks out, do others have around the flap areas.
Avatar f tn however, in the past week, i have noticed a new sensation of tightening/constricting of my upper chest / trachea. I dont know if this is possible, but it doesnt feel like the same sensation i get from wheezing, however it is difficult to move air and has resulted in a dry annoying cough. There is also the constant sensation of having a tickle in the back of my throat. This also hasn't been resolved with the use of albuerol, which also leads me to believe that it is not my asthma acting up.

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 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 n tn I am a 29 year old who has been having chest tightness for about 3 days with a headache that comes and goes. I went to an urgent care for them to tell me nothing except that my vital signs are healthy, take no xrays, take no blood, etc. They prescribed me an inhaler thinking that it was an allegarine asthma. IT hasn't helped so far. When I work out, it doesn't bother me anymore. I am not short of breath; however, to take a deep breath takes a little more effort.
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.
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 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 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 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 I was a smoker some 20 years ago, Iam 54, I recently had a sinus operation and in the convalescence I picked up the pharyngitis virus, as a result of my recovery I developed a cough and tightness in my chest and they made the diagnosis. They say that the present weather conditions of very cold have affected me and brought my problem to the surface. Will I recover when the weather gets warmer and will I resume my normal life?
Avatar f tn Anyways, so I started to panic that I was having a server reaction. Ever since that day my chest feel thight like I dont have enough air or like I cant take a deep enough breath. I went to the Doc the day after the shot they did chest x-ray, blood work, and spirometer thing. All came back ok :) So anyways I am still having this issue. It was coming and going like if I am side tracked or busy its ok or when I first wake up before I am thinking about it its ok.
Avatar n tn as you might have saw in previous post.I was experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath mostly while just walking....my echo came back 100% and my 24 holter i had only 1 pvc in 24 hours so what i wanted to know do these test see if a person has signs of cad or heart failure are they good markers if something was on those test would they be able to determine heart blockage!Thanks!
Avatar f tn Recently, I’ve also been experiencing chest tightness and muscle ache in my upper body(might be due to vigorous exercise during my Physical Education class). The shortness of breath is most apparent when I’m lying down flat or leaning while sitting. Should I be concerned? It’s 12.13 AM right now so I’m looking for a sign before I alert them.
Avatar n tn I am sixteen years old. I am an asthmatic, although it rarely troubles me and I use my inhaler on a very rare basis. I have been on and off sick with the flu and I'm relatively sure I haven't recovered one hundred percent. However, lately I have begun to feel a significant tightness of my chest - to the point where it's panicking. There is also pain in the left side of my chest and the sensation of pins and needles.
Avatar m tn About 5 days ago I woke up extremley short of breath, every breath was difficult and felt as if I could not get any oxygen. Chest tightness came along with this, and would be worse with deep breaths (if I could even get one). I went to the ER had a chest xray (negative), blood work (negative), EKG (negative) and blood pressure was 123/85 100% oxygen saturation. So after about 3 days the breathing gets slightly better on its own.
