What Do Pressure In The Chest And Breathing Difficulty Indicate?

Im a 46 y.o. woman. I feel heaviness in my chest and its hard for me to breathe. My BP is 121/72 O2 is 95. A few minutes ago it was hard for me to bring my words out. I knew what I wanted to say but I couldn t say it. It last for only about 30 seconds. I work at a doctor s office, should I let my provider know whats going on? Im sorry, but I don t have any money to pay for this.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms may indicate a possible cardiac problem and need further investigation. You should consult your physician and think about getting an ECG done to rule out any coronary insufficiency which may be leading to the feeling of heaviness and breathlessness. He may also suggest you undergo an ECHO or coronary angiography depending upon the results of your EKG. Meanwhile, you should avoid doing any strenuous activity and also any kind of stress.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
