I have barrel chest and went for a checkup to see if i have asthma but the doc said no. I am having severe shortness of breath and even though i sleep more than average i still seem to be extremely tired. What should i do?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor.barrel chest has been associated with lung and heart pathology, but not necessarily. If you have shortness of breath and tiredness, please consult a medical specialist to use out valvular lesion associated. Ideally get your lung function tests (spirometry) and an ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY . Get an x-ray chest done also. Hope your question is answered. Take care and wish you good health.
