What Could Heaviness In Chest With Breathing Problems Suggest?
What does it mean when your heart feels like it has a weight on it pulling it down with shortness of breath? Went to see a doctor and he said my chest was clear. Heart seems to be beating normal to me. Taking a deep breath hurts too. Doctor took bloodwork but didn t seem to be getting or giving any real answers. Please help. Thanks
