What Causes Breathing Difficulty And Discomfort In The Lungs?

Over about 8 minutes ago, I had a really hard time breathing. It was a overwhelming. And my lungs felt like they they were having a hard time doing what they should do. And I feel kind of numb. And this never happened before. I kind of feel worried that it may be serious, I m kind of having a hard time concentrating. Is this serious? I kind of do think it could be. And right now I m having a had time putting a sentence together.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have breathing difficulty and discomfort in the lungs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acid reflux , chest infection , sleeping apnea or cardiac problem . The symptoms can also occur due to condition like asthma .I would suggest you to consult chest specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order chest x-ray , check vitals and blood test . Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux problem . Doctor may also recommend CPAP machine for sleep apnea . For now eat light and non spicy specially at night , take steam , take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist for asthma like condition . Drink glass of warm water with one spoon of honey and ginger extract 2-3 times a day.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
