Restless And Heavy Chest, Difficulty In Exhaling, Feeling Of Little Swelling In Chest. No Diagnosis Made From Various Tests. Ideas?

Hi I feel restlessness and heaviness in chest. As if oxygen intake is fine but difficulty in exhaling CO2 . I am 38 years of age and mother of 8 years child. I have got various tests done but reason could not be identified. Can anyone help with this query. Also I feel little swelling on my chest area. I am very worried what could be the reason?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

This description is highly suggestive of Anxiety!
However, it is better to be an exclusion diagnosis... Have a stress EKG and Spirometry (lung function test) – to exclude heart and lung as possible causes...
The limited information provided is not sufficient enough to arrive at an appropriate conclusion....
You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, that could influence the diagnosis...

Take care

God bless
Good luck
