What Causes Breathing Difficulty With Chest Pain?

Hello, I am having trouble taking a deep breath. sometimes i have to yawn to take a deep breath but even that doesnt work. my chest hurts a little bit. i try to take a deep breath but it seems like the air gets stuck at the bottom of my throat and doesnt get to my lungs. its very off and on sometimes its easy and other times not so easy. I am 21 years old. I have Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome. What I don t understand is that when I am active, playing basketball or any sports running my breathing is normal. chest doesnt hurt and i can take a deep breath with no problem. Do you have any idea what this could possibly be?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should definitely consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) to rule out heart diseases.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes, undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms in young adults (21 years).
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
