What Can Cause Tight Sensation In The Chest Along With Shortness Of Breath?

My husband has been having chest tightness and about 6 weeks ago chest pain. He has had an echo cardiogram and nothing came out. He had one where they gave him liquid through an IV to see about a blockage and they said his heart was strong. He had lung xrays but his lungs are clear. He gets a chest tightening and feels out of breath for about 4 to 5 min and then it releases. Any thoughts on this?

Hello,

As you explain the situation if he was my patient I would recommend him to control the stomach sometimes reflux may be the cause.

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