Chest pain
I have chest pain both right side and left. Two weeks ago I nearly drowned in a swimming pool. From then it started. I fell like I am not Breathing properly. I also have a lot of mucus coming out of my throat. I previously had a bulge in the left atrium of my heart but now I'm fine after taking medicine. My back side of the chest also pains. I also have anxiety problem. Some people say that it is a symptom of dry drowning. But it happens within 48 hours after drowning. So doctor what should I do now.
