Avatar n tn I feel the restriction in my chest when i walk, like a tightness. It get worse when it rains. I went to a pulmonologist who is now refering me to a cardiologist. I wanted to know if you got any help. I couldnt find any test that would show fiberglass.
Avatar f tn Have you thought of anxiety? I get a tightness in my chest when I get stressed. Go on the anxiety blog. I did the same thing and got every test done and that's what they thought it might be.
Avatar f tn I had what started out as a cold, then a lingering cough and was started on antibiotics during which I developed chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheezing. I was diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis, given a breathing treatment and sent home with a prescription for an albuterol inhaler. 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?
Avatar n tn Asthma is a chronic, usually episodic disease in the majority of cases, characterized by a combination of symptoms that may include shortness of breath, mostly with wheezing, cough with or without mucus production and chest tightness. It can worsen spontaneously, with exposure to allergens or irritants, with exertion or with the inhalation of cold air.
Avatar m tn I have chronic shortness of breath, I feel tightness in my upper trachea that i must take a deep inhalation to feel better. I have done numerous tests including Chest X-Ray, Pulmonary Function Test, and ECG, results all came back to be normal. I do not know what to do now. I need help.
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.
Avatar m tn yes I am on medrol 4mg for a horrible sinus infection. ive had it for two months now. only thing that will help! You could use ibuproferen take at least 600 mg.. I did that before I got this Also try mucinex for sinuses or chestfor the chest tightness you don't know you have yet! other things hat help me get through it ocean ultray spray at least three times a day. I did try the sudafed, but if zyrtec makes you tired then sudafed will too. Especially the 60mg.
Avatar m tn I have absolutely no cough, no tightness in chest, it doesnt wake me up at night, it seems to get worse when I think about it... like at the grocery store or the gym. Its constantly on my mind tho, so its hard to gauge. It didnt come in gradually, one day I could breathe, then I got sick, and the difficulty breathing never went away after my cold was gone. I got a PFT, and the guy that ran it said "I bet its chronic bronchitis"... I don't think he was even a doctor!
Avatar n tn I have trouble breathing, tightness of chest, chest pain, squeezing of the chest, heaviness of the chest, shortness of breath, labored breathing, etc. I am on asthma medication, finally one that does not cause many side effects, but I am not sure if it is actually working. Some days are better than others.
Avatar n tn ve had post-nasal drip, one cold with a cough that lasted about 8 weeks and now a constant tickling sensation in my chest, under and on either side of the breast bone. I also sometimes feel a tightness in my chest, not pressure or pain but discomfort, hard to explain. The post--nasal drip is constant and annoying as well as the ticklish feeling. I went to one doctor and he thinks allergies but I don't know-what could I be allergic to in the middle of the desert?
Avatar m tn I have experienced respiratory symptoms once (chest tightness and dry cough which I felt like I tasted some blood), but it went away after a day. I am wondering if I will experience long term affects. I know there has been no research that it can cause cancer, but these fibers of glass can cause harm to the lung tissue. I'm pretty worried b/c I have been petting and snuggling with my rabbit who probably has fiber glass all over his fur.
Avatar m tn For the past week i have been having extreme difficulties with my asthma and no matter what i do or where i go nothing is working, my albuterol solution and iprotrium bromide for the nebulizer, my albuterol sulfate inhaler, anti-allergen medications, even herbal treatments nothing is working at all, i have frequented my doctor he says my lungs sound clear and my oxygen blood level is reading good, however there is a tightness in my left lung and its hard to breathe, im having to use the nebulize
Avatar n tn I have recently woke up with hives covering my body; especially my hands and the back of my neck and head. I went to the doc who gave me a steroid shot, prescribed predinsone, and doxyeline for itching. This seems to help some with the external hives.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with asthma about half a year ago, started getting symptoms 8 or 9 months ago, breathlessness, chest tightness, tiny bit of wheezing etc. Doctors gave me an inhaler, Ventolin, then gave me a steroid inhaler later. The probable cause for my asthma is anxiety - I have anxiety problems and have trouble relaxing/ irrationally get anxious.
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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 For almost a year now I have been experiencing severe headache, sore throats, dizziness, weakness, nausea, bruising on my legs, and sometimes a rash on my chest. I had my tonsils out back in May of this year hoping that it would take away some of the symptoms but it did not. I have had blood work about blood work and everything comes back negative. Is there anything that doesn't show up on blood work? I need some help. I keep getting put on meds that do not do anything.
