Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having chest pain with sudden onset breathlessness.
These are commonly seen with lung infection, bronchitis and pulmonary embolism (PE)
.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
3. PFT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
4. CT pulmonary angiography to rule out PE.
You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of these reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
