Hi Doc, I have started experiencing a tightness of my chest recently. I was exposed to the cold in the last week. I don t cough much, but when I do, I am experiencing a tightness of the chest. Please advise if this is pneumonia or asthma? It is a dull pain. Thank you
Hi, I think that only tightness in chest, then it is not needed to do a diagnosis in Asthma or Pneumonia. I believe that you have no asthma or pneumonia but is only a muscular chest problem by the cold. It maybe a flu situation that are common in this season. I think you must treat with a pomade with analgesic preparation as Voltaren in chest. Sometimes during the day and a little analgesic per OS (to Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
