What Could Chest Pain With Breathing Issues Suggest?
I m small chest pain like small needle is poking at it and breathing is a bit difficult and my throats a bit scratchy... Not too bad. But I m worried cause today I dealt with glacial acetic acid in lab and I suffer from mild asthma should I go to the emergency room?
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation. In my opinion you are having worsening of underlying asthma due to viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). The most common cause for worsening of asthma is viral infection. And sore throat in your case is suggestive of viral URTI more. So this might be the cause for your breathing difficulty (worsening of asthma). So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Chest x ray 2. PFT (pulmonary function test). Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is needed to know the severity of asthma. And treatment is based on severity only. So PFT is must in your case. You may need antihistamine, antibiotics and inhaled corticosteroid and bronchodilators. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
