What Causes Chest Pressure With Breathing Difficulties?

Good day.
My name is Grigor.I am from Bulgaria.
In the last month I started feeling pressure in my chest. I feel like I am having air deficit, but thats not the case.I feel like my chest is expanding even when I don't bread.I started weight training late July. I also started swimming a month ago, 2 days a week. My trainer wanted me to perform breathing exercises.

Hi thanks for asking question.
Here you don't seems to have any organic disease.
The anxiety or severe stress can lead to panic attack and breathlessness..
So try to avoid stress.
Morever if you are obese then chest pressure and apnea can occur.
Loose weight by regular exercise.

Take low fat diet...

If still condition increasing chest x ray , spirometry and ECG done for further work up...

Take care....
