What causes difficulties in breathing and tight chest?
Patient: Hi... I have had difficulties taking deep breaths for the past 3 days.  My chest is very tight and on the right side of my chest there is a knot.  Also I keep wanting to yawn but can't. Omplete the yawn.  I don't feel any anxiety or anything so I don't think that is the problem Doctor: HelloTightness in chest and difficult breathing need immediate medical attention.You need proper clinical examination and few investigations.Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,lipid profile,renal function test,chest X-ray (PA view),ECG,ECHO,TMT,upper GI endoscopy.Further investigations can be done if needed.Treatment depend upon findings.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
