Is Shortness Of Breath Along With Burning Sensation In The Chest A Matter Of Concern?

I am having a funny feeling in my chest, I think maybe it could be anxiety. But, if I walk a short distance there is a slight SOB & sometimes chest burning. I am a 58 yr old female. This has bee going on for about 2 to 3 weeks now. Should I be concerned?

Hi,

* Persistent shortness of breath for 3 weeks must be evaluated by an expert physician for eliciting heart and lung functions rather than just taking it granted for anxiety purpose.

I would like to admire your further doubts anytime.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
