What Causes Chest Pressure, Breathlessness And Lower Back Pain?
My 12.5 year old daughter just started having tremors in her arms, hands, trunk, weakness in her legs when standing. She had been complaining of chest pressure and difficulty taking deep breaths, as well as achy lower back. I had her take 2 ibuprofen, as well as a couple puffs on her inhaler about 40 minutes ago ( she has intermittent seasonal asthma). Her current pulse rate is 88.

Hi...sometimes the inhaler medication which is usually salbutamol and levosalbutamol can cause tremors like this. If the tremors have started after giving the inhaler you can be rest assured.... it is a common phenomena which will subside by itself in few minutes to hours. Regarding chest tightness it could have been wheezing which the child is expressing like this.
