: I am 28 female. been experiencing chest discomfort for almost 9 months now. always the feeling of need to take deep breaths. always feel breathless. tightness and in upper chest and lower throat area. : always feel heavy in chest. seen chest physician, done numerous scans and now waiting for MRI spine from T4 downwards. i am scared of MS.
I'm no expert, but to me this sounds like anxiety and tension. I have this myself and know of so many others too - way too many for us to all have some serious illness. Have you ever have physiotherapy? They loosen and massage all of those painful pressure points and it makes such a difference. (It hurts while they do it - but after a couple of sessions can totally fix it).
