What Causes Difficulties In Breathing And Tight Chest?
Hi... I have had difficulties taking deep breaths for the past 3 days. My chest is very tight and on the right side of my chest there is a knot. Also I keep wanting to yawn but can't. Omplete the yawn. I don't feel any anxiety or anything so I don't think that is the problem
