Strange head pressure, light headed, and chest tgihtness

[angel005]

Hello I'm 20 years old and of last thursday been having head pressure, lightheadness,  tightness in chest, sometimes shortness of breath and a heavy feeling. The pressure is right in the middle of my head and sometimes it migrates to behind my noes, eyes and ears. The symptoms seem to come and go on there own. The last three days the symptoms stay a little longer. I have already been to the doctor and they said it might just be sinuses and stress but I'm not to sure because sometimes it feels as if its getting worse.

Im only 13 and i have really bad chest pains to breathe in or out. They started last night while i was laying in bed. i tried to get up and when i did i got very light headed. And they lasted about a hour i couldnt hardly breathe. so again today i was making my bed and i got really light headed and got all weak and my chest tightened up and got hard to breathe in or out. I have never had anything like this to happen. Do u no what it might be and what i could do?

Yes I did go to the doctor and he diagnosed me anxiety disorder. He told me to come back in two weeks to see if the medication he gave me helped.

Hi,
Was there recurrence of your chest tightness? Were you able to see your attending physician? Direct examiantion of your ear and nasal passage by your ENT doctor will greatly help with the diagnosis. Take care and dope to hear from you soon.

also i just curious if you have problems with
ear wax build up in the inner ear. that can cause
infection of the sinus as well as ear. good luck

doesnt sound like infection. sounds more like stress. infection
usually includes alot of muocus, fever, and soar throat. ive had
sinus headaches and other pains from stress and anxiety.

Wow the response is faster than I thought. I have this heavy feeling now and chest tightness is starting to pain so I'm making another appointment to see whats up.

Hi,
How are you? Are there other additional symptoms present? It may indeed be due to sinus infection and may be resolved with medications. Drink plenty of fluids and try to avoid stress.  Continue your medications as prescribed to help provide relief. If the chest tightness persists, further evaluation may need to be done to rule out cardiac issues as well. Direct clinical examination and tests like ECG may be done.Take care and do keep us posted.
