Breathing - Tight Chest And Can't Breathe
#1
Posted 03 March 2010 - 01:06 AM
My boyfriend is a T6,7,8 and also has scoliosis.
Recently, he's been having troubles breathing. He claims he's dying. He says he has no pain, just a tight chest and it feels like he can't breathe. He's felt this way in the past, but it hasn't lasted this long before.
Last time it happened, pain was included. We went to the hospital and his lungs came up fine and they told him he just had a bladder infection.
I was just wondering if you guys had any ideas as to what the chest issues could be. Asthma?
Thanks!

I'm positive its not anxiety and when we went to the hospital it was for the pain...shortness of breath was just something he had mentioned. Now he has no pain, just tightness and he says he feels like he can't breathe.
I'm not looking for a diagnosis or anything. Just some ideas as to what it could be. He knows when he has a bladder infection and says he has one, but that its never in the past affected his breathing.
All I know is that he'd be the first to know if something was up. And he refuses to go to the hospital or even the clinic half the time.
Which is why I came here. Probably more for my knowledge.

the only time that I ever experienced shortness of breath with any type of infection in regards to bladder was when I had kidney stones.

It's been a few months since the hospital incident.
I worry that it could be something to do with his kidneys. He went to his Urologist for his regular checkup and the results were that his kidney function has decreased 20% since his last visit, 6 months earlier.
I just wish there was something I could do to make him feel better.

my mom thought she was having a heart attack... turned out she has acid reflux (after undergoing several tests, like stress test and so forth)

It's his breathing. He should go see a doctor and get it checked out properly because there's too many possibilities.
