What Causes Shortness Of Breath, Wheezing, Swollen Feet And Chest Pain?
I just started with shortness of breath, can hear that I m wheezy plus a slight cough. I also have a lot of swelling in my feet and ankles and up my leg. Never, ever happened before. My right hand and wrist area is also swollen....I do have some chest pain but not bad. Went to ER a few months ago with chest pain but they couldn t find anything . I do have Fibromyalgia and Lyme disease which both causes me extreme pain. Should I be worried?

Hello,
Thankyou for your query.
Dear I would suggest get ECG,ECHO and xray chest done first .Since swelling in ankles and these type of symptoms can happen in heart disease or respiratory disease.And Lyme disease also effects heart.So to clear any doubt ,you should thoroughly get checked by physician and get done required investigations accordingly.
