A member asked:
My mom feels out of breath and tight in the lungs. what should we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medical check up: An examination by a doctor is necessary to check the lungs. I hope it is not asthma. A chest x-ray would be a consideration if it is not asthma. If the symptoms persist for > 2 weeks, then you should get her checked up by a physician.
