Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest pain with breathlessness are commonly seen in asthma and heart disease. Get a chest x-ray, ECG and Echo done if they are normal, no need to worry about heart disease. Also consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is needed for the diagnosis of asthma. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
