What Causes Dizzy Spells And Sharp Pain In My Chest, Ribs And Stomach Post Breathing?

I ve been having trouble with my breathing for the past year, my doctor thinks it might be asthma, but, I m not too sure about that because I keep having dizzy spells and sharp pain in my chest, ribs and stomach. I don t know, I guess I just wanted to know a second opinion.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Asthma is normally associated with dry cough (worse at night and early morning), wheezing, chest pain and shortness of breath. Some persons may only have the cough.

It is not likely, based on the symptoms that you mentioned,that asthma is the cause.

Chest pain can be due to any structure in the chest from the skin inwards. This includes the skin, muscles, bones, lungs, heart, esophagus.

The dizziness may be related to different causes including- heart, anemia, ears, brain.
This may also need reassessment.

I hope this helps
