What Causes Pressure In The Chest Upon Deep Breathing?
Hi Doctor, When I take a deep breath I feel a slight pressure on the left side of my chest close to my collar bone. I was diagnosed with Afib this past year. I currently take Xarelto and I am also on a blood pressure medication. This morning my pressure was 117-72. I am almost 44 yrs old and over weight.
