Mild pain in chest area. Left side
Hello. I'm 41. I have been having a mild chest pain with mild back pain on and off. But in the last two weeks, I become breathless even with walking up the stairs or exercising. I have supraventricular tachycardia and I take a mild dose 1.25mg if beta blocker every day. Initially I thought it was probably my heart, but now I feel it may be my lungs. When I walk a km for exercise at a moderate pace my pulse goes upto 140. Comes down after 2 or 3 min once I stop. When I climb slightly steep stairs or goes to 112 or so. I'm not tired but I feel breathless. It's never happened before. I had costochondritis 2 yrs back. It does feel similar to that again. I felt slight rib pain but not anymore. This is mostly on the left side. My resting pulse has always been around 90 though after taking betablockers. I took blood tests recently and everything is normal. I have ibs and am on normaxin rt. My tummy is also fine though. Could you let me know what the possibilities are. thank you.

You should undergo pulmonary function testing to confirm or rule out the reason of breathlessness. It can be heart or lung or both.
