What Causes Breathlessness And Chest Tightness?
I had a heart cath 5 days ago, which was negative. Today, I am having unexplained short of breath both at rest and when moving about. I also feel a tightness in my chest, not too severe but like it is hard to move my chest to breath. What might be going on?

Hi,
Breathlessness & chest discomfort can be because of heart or lung condition. As your heart cath has already been done which rules out heart disease. I'll recommend getting a Chest X Ray done & see a pulmonologist for further evaluation & treatment.
Thanks
