What Causes Tightness In The Chest Along With Shortness Of Breath?
I ve had some weird chest issues going on for 6 months or more. It feels kind of like a chest cold, but some days are worse than others. Chest tightness, and shortness of breath sometimes. I feel the need to cough but don t have a constant cough at all. I clear my throat constantly. I ve been to the doctor and was prescribed albuterol inhaler for asthma, something for acid reflux, and had a lung X-ray that was negative. Nothing has changed. It s been going on for so long it getting worrisome. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
