A member asked:
7 days have felt short of breath. ekg, peak flow, and pulse ox all normal. chest feels tight and hard to get a deep satisfying breath. is this anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short of breath: Have you had upper respiratory infection recently? Any injury to chest wall? I would certainly not rule out anxiety but usually this does not cause pain with deep breath. I would want to see a chest X-ray done too.
