What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Tight Sensation In The Chest?
Hello, I am a healthy 54 year old woman. For the last few days I have been feeling short of breath (while at rest) and today I m beginning to feel some chest tightness. I have already made an appointment to see my doctor. I did have a laminectomy for a herniated disc 9 weeks ago, and I still take one 10 mg cyclobenzaprine before bed. I m wondering if the medication could be causing this?
