I get these sensations in my chest like my bronchi tubes are haveing spasms with a slight feeling of shortness of breath. usually when i am doing mowing or lifting. it also does it when i am under alot of stress. which keeping an adult mentally ill son and not having a life generally makes me feel stressed or burnt out anyway. I had EKG and echo in december and they were fine. anxiety was causing palpitaions. I do smoke. right now i have a chest and head cold, took a z pack which helps but its a virus so it'll take time. i had the bronchi spasms before the cold though. and yes i have allergies. thanks for any definition i can get on this spasm feeling i am having. someone said you cant actually feel bronchi spasms or that its painful. this is not painful.
