What Causes Severe Fatigue And Pain In The Chest While Breathing?

default
Posted on Wed, 17 Aug 2016
Question: Well it's Saturday, 11:30 am, I am in XXXX, came up last night. Got here and spent the night unpacking and general pickup and clean up. Wasn't doing too bad. Exhausted self, went to bed slept so so got up and felt tight in chest small amount of air to breath. Not as comfortable as I was when I went to bed
Drained the hot tub last night, went out to clean and fill and had hard time breathing could only get half a breath of air. It is in high 80's for temp and humid too.
Not sure of all the factors to consider on this one.
I know panic is in it because I found another plumbing issue and garden hose to fill hot tub was an issue but that is fixed and letting tub fill.
Since you have said no copd than lungs are compromised by inflammation oh and it's not just upper lungs it's entire. So I need to stop the working and do small relaxing things and quit the worry
After all. You and the dr's and the PFTs say normal. And you say airway inflammation by stress. And if asthma is involved, asthma and stress are a no good problem
You did say I have no copd? Right

So it's inflammation and rest rest rest rest. And do relaxing things like hot tub and family

Oh. I leaned sideways over the arm of a chair and bruised my ribs the other night. Have not done that in years. I forgot how much that hurts when you breath or cough. Nothing you can take for that.

My granddaughter came over late and stayed the night with her grandfather. So I did not get picture. I'll try to get one this morning

I just helped my daughter carry a bookshelf up and out to her vehicle. I had a tight chest and was sob

To stay in my dr's opinion I have to believe that it's caused by panic mediators and inflammation. I slept poorly last night after three. I noticed that when I inhaled I could take a smooth breath but it suddenly stops and no more allowed in. I figure I am getting only half filled lungs compared to what I have in the past
