Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Chest pain and breathlessness are commonly seen in either heart diseases or Pulmonary diseases.
Since you had high salt intake, possibility of heart diseases like hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease (CAD) are more.. So better to first get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg and 2d echo.
If all these are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases.
Also get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis (Pulmonary cause).
So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
