Chest tightness a side?

[medicmommy]

Hey all...Has anyone had  chest and throat tightness as a side? Is it possibly a sign of worsening anemia? I'm due on Wed to get next labs done. (1 week since last ones that showed a sudden drop in HCT, WBC, and slighly in HGB..)  Anemia sides still the same..(Out of breath, heart palpitations, fatigue with minimal activity, occasional dizzies, etc...)...Should I move up lab draw? (Starting week #4...first vl Wed!) I'm confident it isn't a heart attack or anxiety...(TG I haven't been "blessed" with that side!)

I also got so much phlem, I can tell when that happens, I think that is so scary!   That crushed feeling!    It is like I get bad allergies!

Happy st Pats to you as well!

Ty again...Good grief...never in my life have I been so plagued by medical stuff...sigh...I'm just used to letting things run their course, and having the answers to explain them away...got an appt on Wed for further evaluation and to discuss "rescue" options...Thanks again...And yes, sldb, denial is my friend...LOL
Happy St Patty's day everyone!

Call the doc's office and let them know whats going on. You are already sob,having palpatations etc.. You know as well as i do that these are signs of worsening anemia. (being in the profession u r in) . Dont let it go on too much longer.  Be healthy.

i think at least 50% to 75% of us get the collapsed lungs feeling. theres not much you can do about it. i hated it but at least it wasnt directly painful. try to walk everyday
that you can.
