What Causes Chest Tightness And Breathing Difficulty?
I am wondering what this feeling I m having could be. When I take a deep breath i have discomfort and tightness in my chest. I am a 24 yr old female. I do take birth co.trol and i know a side effect can be a blood clot in the lungs. What do you think?

Hello,
Discomfort and tightness in chest while taking deep breath is likely to be muscular in origin. I suggest you to take a muscle relaxant to relieve the discomfort and tightness.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
