Hello I ve recently been experiencing some tightness in my chest whenever i stand up. I have asthma so I ve been thinking it was just that. I use my inhaler but the pain usually comes back after a few hours or so. I currently live in a college dorm and i try my best to keep it clean and free of allergens. Any advice?
Hello, The most common cause for chest tightness in asthma patient is worsening of asthma. So, it is better to consult pulmonologist and get done a clinical examination of the respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If PFT is normal, then no need to worry about asthma as a cause. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So, avoid stress and tension, be calm and relax. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
