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.
