What Could Be Wrong If Chest Feels Tight, Heavy While Breathing?

For a month now i have been having a whole bunch of problems... This happened to me once before about a year ago and im not sure if its stress related or from laying around a lot lately or what.... My chest has been feeling tight? Idk if thats the word but when i think about breathing it becomes almost like my chest gets heavy... If i dont eat every few hours i get lightheaded and feel like i could faint even sometimes... I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach almost nauseous... Sometimes when i do eat i get nauseous or im running to the bathroom.... Idk whats wrong with me

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning.I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would initially suggest you to go for a routine blood tests including a blood sugar both fasting and post-prandial apart from a blood pressure recording and would initiate treatment if anything was found abnormal. Apart from this, I would have done a general physical examination for you with special reference to your respiratory and cardio-vascular system along with the required investigations and accordingly would have planned your further management. Till that I would have given you some multi vitamin along with a iron supplement to start with.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
