What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Chest Discomfort?

Hi I am a twenty one year old female who is experiences roughly three times a week shortness of breath for a brief second and tightening of the chest. I have gotten an EKG within the past year and the results came back negative. I was wondering if you had an idea of what it could be or any advice to decrease these symptoms.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety.
I would suggest to consult a psychiatrist for further examinations.
Meanwhile you can try Chamomile and Valerian tea for relief.
