What Causes Heaviness In Chest, Breathless And Tired?
I am feeling pressure in my chest. Not a crushing pressure but kind of heaviness. And I'm a little breathless and tired. I went to the dr and had a EKG they said it was fine. Scheduled a stress test for 2 weeks away. Been feeling like this for the last few days. Dr said it was stress
