Same symptoms

[mygranmyangel]

I to am having the same syptoms.  I have been to sooooo many doctors and had soooo many test done and still get the same answer.  Anxiety or Stress.  I personally don't believe that.  I have the tightness in the chest, the burning is off and on ( and not heartburn type burning) sometimes I have the lump feel in my throat.  I barely eat because I have no appetite.  But I'm also not loosing any weight from the lack of eating.  I have had an upper scope, colonynoscopy, ultra sounds, mri's bloodwork for just about everything.  I wish someone could figure it out.  I would like to have my body feel normal again..  


This discussion is related to Tightness and heaviness in chest, difficulty breathing. I need help..

I am having the same symptoms. My doctor prescribed me an inhaler to clear my airway. I am not even sure if it is working or not as I feel the same chest tightness and occassional coughing. Has anyone found a diagnosis for these symptoms? It is bothering me so much... Thank you for your sharing.

Just wondering if you have heard or learned anything about your symptoms.  I have had these same issues for about 4 months now and it is slowly getting worse.  It seems to have started right around the time I went on a diet.  I have lost 40 pounds and was thinking that this should make me feel better not worse.  I also have very little stress in my life (at least I didn't until these symptoms started).  I am an ex-smoker for some years now but I do have asthma.  This is different though and it is freaking me out.  I am starting to worry that my kids aren't going to have a dad if this continues to worsen.  I thought I twisted something in my back and have gone to see a chiropractor a few times, but I still have numbness/pain just under my left shoulder blade.  Sometimes if I force all of the air from my lungs then take a short breath and repeat several times I am able to cough deeper and I feel better for a little while, but I am not sure what to do.  Thanks for your posts.  I am sorry you are going through something similar, but I feel a little better knowing I am not alone.

I have these exact same symptoms. I have seen two Dr's and both say it's stress and give me depression and anxiety pills but the pain is still there. I worry because my throat feels like it's closed up and it's hard to swallow. Sometimes I sound hoarse and I clear my throat a lot. Constantly grabbing my chest and by the end of the work day I just want to lay down for relief of the back and shoulder pain.
