Last Christmas I had a long flu like illness for around 6 weeks. My GP give the flu jab as I am a Diabetic. The jab made me very ill and knocked me off my feet. I didnt go back to my GP. Ever since I have had slightly tight feelings in my chest area with bursts of icey cold feelings across the chest area. These are painful. I am always very tired and taking deep breathes hurts. Please advise.david
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since you are diabetic, we should rule out cardiac cause first for your chest tightness and discomfort. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about cardiac disease. Bronchitis can also be the cause for your chest tightness and deep breathing. So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis. If all above-mentioned investigations are normal then no need to worry much. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
