Hello,
Chest pressure and shortness of breath are very concerning for a serious problem with the heart (like a heart attack) or the lungs (like a blood clot). I would not ignore these symptoms. I suggest that you go to an emergency department immediately and be evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
