[heartfluttersflyawayplz]

i know how you feel its a really scarey feeling when you are short of breath and feel the heavyness in the chest i to had that for 6 months and it was where i had got a cold and it turned into Broncities(SP) and they told me i had copd and i had stress test done with dye and my heart is fine, after a month on a great med it went away. so hang in there it will get better

A chest X Ray is a good idea. The heaviness may just be some fluid and swollen bronchi. I have chronic bronchitis and I have felt the heavy feeling while breathing that you mention. It is very unpleasant at times.

Good luck!

thanks very much yes im pleased my heart is good but cant shake this heaviness i did have whooping couch about 6 mnths ago maybe this has damaged something in the chest/lungs if i keep feeling so heavy chested and hard to breath i may ask for va chest xray

I would take you doctor's word, it sounds like asthma. It is easy to control and your doctor should be able to improve your quality of life.

Congrats on the normal stress test, you should be pleased!
