What Causes Pinching Sensation In Chest And Breathlessness During Sleep?
The last week when I haven been trying to fall asleep my chest area pinches and it gets a little difficult to take deep breaths. Just recently I was just going along with my business and my chest started to hurt and my heartbeat increased and deep breaths were hard to obtain again, any insight would be much appreticated
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to angina pectoris. Several examinations should be done for further evaluation. I suggest to do an electrocardiogram and a cardiac ultrasound. I also suggest to visit a cardiologist for a specific treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
