Suggest Treatment For Tightness In Chest And Difficulty In Breathing
I have some drainage but my main issues are the feeling of a lump at the base of my throat ( no trouble swallowing) and a tightness in my chest when I try to take a deep breath. I am not short of breath just feel like I can t expand my lungs enough to get a deep breath
first thing that need to be done is quit smoking if you smoke
it seems like you have bronchial asthma allergic rhinitis allergy upper/ lower resp tract infection
these are the possibilities but to confirm you have to consult a Pulmonologist who can request for a chest X-ray , sputum culture and if needed a spirimetry which can lead to a diagnosis
in my patients I apply the same protocol and start them on empirical antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor and some bronchodilators like ambroxol which relieves the symptoms
no need to panic thanks feel free to ask more questions
