Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain With Shortness Of Breath

Hello my friend Angela is experiencing chest pains when she breathes. She has felt this way for the past couple of days. She is 25 years old and does not smoke. Moderate drink. Maybe a glass of win here and there. She says she can breathe but it is hard when her chest is hurting. She has no fever.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain with breathing difficulty in young individual (25 years old) is seen commonly with asthma.
So get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
If PFT is normal then no need to worry for asthma.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So tell her not to take stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Avoid alcohol.
Consult psychiatrist for anxiolytic drugs (propranolol and flunarizine).
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your friend. Thanks.
