What Does Pressure In The Chest Indicate?
Hi I have been having issues with chest feeling as if someone was sitting on my chest I went to the emergency room on 11/22/17 my heart rate was initially 187 I was shaking all over I immediately did an ekg eventually my heart rate went down to 137 and was discharged home with rapid heart rate and tachycardia I was given no medications and I also did not get the results of my ekg well tonight they sent me a message on my app with my ekg results stating: sinus tachycardia t wave abnormality, consider inferior ischemia I also have previously been diagnosed with regurgitation in some of my valves should I be concerned with this no one said anything at all about it

dear user
pressure in the chest and difficult breathing may refer to have chest infection or other underlying disease
chest infection or bronchial asthma or allergy as these causes bronchoconstriction and difficulty of breathing and you will feel tightness of chest especially with excercise and may feel that if you exposed to any odour or allergen
some times there is myococrdial infarction or ischemic heart disease may cause that and you need to do investigations for that as stress ecg test for diagnosis......severe excercise also that causes your tightness and pressure in the chest considered main cause of these symptoms
also psychological problems and stress and anxiety have great role in these symptoms of pressure in the chest so try to avoid stress and any anxiety troubles
simply you need to do just investigations as x ray chest and ecg and may require echo scan for diagnosis of any cardiac or lung problems
wish you healthy life
