What Causes Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath?

hi, I have been having shortness of breath, chest pain, tingling in left hand and foot and very tired for a week. I am a 46 year old female. My blood pressure is 120-130/76 and my cholesterol is 4.2 I have had 2 EKG's, 1 xray and a blood test which all have come back negative for heart. What else could be going on (My brother had a quad bipass when he was 46)

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your all cardiac reports are normal, we should definitely rule out lung diseases (bronchitis) for your symptoms.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
If PFT is showing obstructive defect then you will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol).
If PFT is normal then no need to much.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
