What Causes Difficulty Breathing,throbbing Shoulder Pain And Chest Tightness?
Hi there. I am having difficulty breathing and I have throbbing shoulder pain. It feels like there is a weight on my chest. The weight on my chest comes about every 2 minutes and lasts for about 30 seconds each time. Please give me an idea of what is going on. Thanks!

Hello,
Your symptoms could be suggestive of a musculo-skeletal pain. Is the pain triggered by deep breathing or body movements? This would be suggestive of a musculo-skeletal pain. Otherwise, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
