Chest tightness and breathlessness

2020-02-19 07:10:28
In the last 6-7 months, I have been feeling breathlessness and tightness in my chest from time to time. It is never so bad that I have to rush to hospital, but it is significant. Never had any asthmatic health problem before. Though I have always been breathing through my mouth. Initially, it used to happen when I was feeling very sad. But these days, it happens even when I'm only slightly emotional. Is this only a psychological problem or should I check with a lung specialist?
