Why do my lungs keep tightening up every hour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: If you are having any difficulty breathing, air hunger, chest pain or chest tightness, I would advise seeing the ED. There are many causes, but asthma is one possible explanation. IF it is mild and can wait, then your PCP can see you on Monday. A virtual appointment is available to discuss online.
