Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain With Shortness Of Breath
Hello, I have discomfort in my chest and there is an ache with shortness of breath. This occurs usually when I work because in my work, I usually lift no less than 25lbs. I do have asthma, but the shortness of breath does not seem like an asthma attack. What could this be?

Hello
welcome to hcm
as you have described that your job is concerned with lifting heavy weights that points towards one of the following cause for your pain
(1) MUSCULO-SKELETAL i.e due to streching of muscles of chest wall
(2) COSTOCHONDRITIS i.e inflammation of bones/cartilage of the ribs
so you just need to take a course of ANALGESIC + MUSCLE RELAXANTS...take the following medicines for 1 week
(1) TABLET IBUPROFEN 3 times a day after meals
(2) TABLET TIZANIDINE 2 mg three times a day after meals
avoid lifting heavy weights n operating machinary for 1 week till u take these medicines
