What Causes Pressure In The Chest Upon Inhaling?
For about 3 days I have been experiencing tightness in the upper right quadrant of my chest when I inhale deeply (but not with normal breathing). I experience allergies (seasonal) but they haven t kicked in yet. I ve been under a lot of stress recently. Trying to decide if I need to be concerned or should just try to focus on more relaxation exercises...

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You are right, chest tightness problem could be because of excess anxiety problem. For that relaxation exercise and behavioural counselling will be beneficial. Anti anxiety medication if needed can be prescribed by psychiatrist. Before labelling it as anxiety related issue I suggest you to investigate with chest X-ray and your auscultation should be done. I suggest you to consult pulmonologist for examination.
