What Causes Chest Pain And Breathlessness?

Hi, may I answer yHi I have been experiencing chest pain and episodes of shortness of breath I am asthmatic and last year had mycoplasma pneumonia, I was born with a pectus excavatum (chest wall deformity), I also have low lung capacity. I have seen a heart specialist and they can’t seem to find anything wrong with my heart, I have had echo’s, heart ultra sound, blood pressure and they all came back fine. I do however have inappropriate sinus tachycardia. What do you think is causing this pain and shortness of breath; I am going to see a lung specialist soon. our health queries right now ?

Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello

Thank you for asking in HCM
One thing is that you have excluded several heart diseases that can cause chest pain and difficulty in breathing.

Given that you say that you suffer from asthma and you have a chest deformity i think that going to a pulmonologist for a consultation is the best thing.
The lung doctor may perform you a test called SPIROMETRY to reevaluate your lung function and to decide further for the treatment.

Thank you
