I have this tight feeling in my chest/back. When I breath in deep it hurts. Feels like someone is sitting on me and I cant breath in deep. I went to a doctor and he gave me an inhaler but its not helping. It has happened before, it typically last for 3 to 5 days and then just goes away. Also, Ive had an EKG and it came up normal. Any ideas?
Hi thanks for asking question. Here are few possibilities in your case.1. First you have these type breathlessness before few months also. So you might have allergic reaction like asthma to allergens like excess dust, food, pollen etc. Wear masks while Chat Doctor. Chest x-ray and spirometry along witChatDoctorplete blood examination helpful. If wheezing heard on auscultation then nebulization by budesonide and albuterol can be taken. Then regular metered dose inhalation by forecourt 200 may be needed.2. Second you might have simple musculoskeletal pain by heavy weight lifting, improper sleep posture or straining by any activity. Simple analgesic with hot compress helpful.3. If fever associated and cough present pneumonitis or bronchitis has to be ruled out by chest x-ray and CBC.4. You might have simple viral infection that can lead pain as constitutional symptoms. Treat it symptomatically.5. If known case of hypertension and risk factors for cardiac disease high then electrocardiogram done to rule out cardiac condition. I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you.
