What Causes Difficulty In Taking Deep Breaths And Bruised Forehead Like Sensation?

I feel like I have a hard time taking a deep breathe as if I m standing in water passed my lungs so I have to jump up to get that good deep breathe and when I touch my head in a certain spot it feels like a bruise like in a line in the front of my head and I know what a headache feels like so it s not a headache feeling. Everyone s just been telling me it s anxiety but I don t think it is. Someone please help its ruining my days not knowing what this feeling is

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You will need a good check of your heart and lungs. It is important to see your doctor and he listens to your lungs and heart and make sure there is no related conditions causing you shortness of breath.

The doctor may also ask for examinations such as a chest x-ray and an ECG or a heart ultrasound. A CBC to rule out anemia and also TSH to make sure your thyroid is working well can be helpful.

If all the tests come out normal then anxiety is very likely the cause and you will need to further be treated for this.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
