I'm having a hard time breathing with pressure on my chest - General

I need some help Facepunch. For the last 2 hours I've been having a hard time taking deep breaths and I have a uncomfortable pressure on my chest.

Go see a doctor

I just checked with WebMD, and it says you've definitely got cancer.

[QUOTE=Bradyns;45449970]I just checked with WebMD, and it says you've definitely got cancer.[/QUOTE] Tell me this is a joke.

Try and sleep it off. If you still have the feeling in the morning, you should probably go see a doctor.

Go to urgent care.

[QUOTE=ZyreHD;45449990]Tell me this is a joke.[/QUOTE] See a doctor call a hospital and then talk to them about it over the phone if its serious enough for them to tell you to come to them go there don't listen to anything but this post and other "See a doctor" posts [B]SEE A DOCTOR[/B]

There's actually a thing called Dyspnea, or air hunger, where you feel as if you can't get a deep breath in, when really it's just mind over matter. It could be that you're just panicking too much about it. But if you feel as if you're going to faint or something like that or pain starts in the chest area where you're having it, I'd definitely consult someone else other than FP.

I've had situation in which I woke up during the night and had a really hard time taking deep breaths. Had to cough because of that. I went and drank some water but still had the pressure on my chest. I was able to fall asleep again and when I woke up everything was fine. When I was young I always had a inhaler because I got in situations where I had a hard time breathing because my air ways tighten up. I got this mostly after doing really intensive physical activity like sport. Over the years I grew over it but sometime, not always for some reason it comes back. Sadly we don't have a inhaler anymore.

I suggest keeping an inhaler where you can easily get it encase it gets [I]worse[/I] you don't want to be in an emergency where you need your lungs.

I've had the worse night in my life. All night I had a hard time breathing normally. I made this strange noises and shouldn't close my eyes. It's Monday midday now, I did get some rest and the pressure seems to be way less now as I can breath better again. I'll call a doctor today.

You actually might want to go to an ER.

Zyre, exhale forcefully over a few seconds.. Do you get a squeeky/whistley sound? I make that noise when my asthma is messing with me.

[QUOTE=Bradyns;45454460]Zyre, exhale forcefully over a few seconds.. Do you get a squeeky/whistley sound? I make that noise when my asthma is messing with me.[/QUOTE] I just did as you asked. No this time I'm not having whistley sounds, I just have this feeling that my airway is being contracted tight. However during the night I did have moments where I whistled constantly and my airway/lungs felt like they where full.

Why are you still here go to a doctor

The NHS diagnosis says you have a collapsed lung

Either something got stored in your lungs by accident or you have some sort of weak asthma from the sound of it. You should definitely check it out at a doctor.

You can either browse some porn or [B]SEE A DOCTOR[/B] seriously you don't fuck with your lungs

Chest pains are a tell tale signs of heart attacks waiting to happen

You're probably dead.

God, why the fuck did you listen to "try to sleep". Go to a doctor. You should have gone to the ER, or even called for an ambulance. Asthma, or any kind of air-restricting complications can be [B]deadly[/B] within moments. I'm glad you're calling a doctor, but next time don't hesitate to just go to the ER. Last time that happened to me, it turned out my tonsil was inflaming so harshly that they had to cut them open. Not cut them out, cut them OPEN and let them drain shit.

lets play surgeon simulator co-op.

My credentials do not really matter I suppose - but as an emergency responder, difficulty breathing and the feeling of pressure on your chest requires immediate emergency medicine. Chest pains/pressure/tightness, lower back pain, numbness in one or more of your appendages, pain or uncomfortable feelings in one or more appendages, breaking out into a sudden cold sweat, nausea, and difficulty or trouble breathing are all signs of a heart attack. Better safe than sorry, have someone transport you to the nearest emergency room or dial your local ambulatory service.

I'm still alive guys. I visited the doctor today and he told me I just had gotten a cold that moved to my lungs. Because of that my airway contracted and making me cough up some green slime because of the small infection. Got told to take some rest. As a safe guard he also have me a inhaler for when I get it again. :smile:
