Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have tightness in my chest and when I breathe iit feels like the air is too thick. This just started last night when I went to bed. I have no other symptoms but a headache which is normal for me. I have chronic migraines. No recent sickness either. Do I need to worry about this? Should I head for the ER?
