What Causes Chest Pain/tightness, Swollen Throat And Breathlessness?
My daughter s chest hurts, its tight. She has shortness of breath, throat feels swollen, stuffy nose and tiredness. Shes wondering if there may be mold in her house. She has been tested for breathing/asthma they don t believe she has that. Could mold exhibit these symptoms?

Household mold could cause these problems and the regular tests for allergy would not show anything abnormal.
It would be a good idea to improve ventilation within the house, avoid contact with pets and the garden plants, if any, and drink plenty of water and fruit juice. Doing steam inhalations with tincture of benzoin and using saline drops in the nose would help a great deal- do give it a try!
