Shortness of breath
Hello doctor,
I have this feeling of intermittent chest tightness and shortness of breath since several years. I feel like I am unable to catch breath and I am forced to take deep breaths to feel better. I have no medical history nor I am taking any medication. I had consulted couple of doctors but they told that it was panic attack. ECG was normal too. But sometimes it gets worse especially after lying. At times I am compelled to yawn to complete the breath. Kindly help.
