Tightness in neck arm's and chest
I have similar symptoms, for me, anxiety is the cause. I believe chest tightness can be a symptom of COPD but what you're describing can also be heart related. Probably best to run it by your doctor if you haven't had a heart workup recently, just a thought.
There can be a number of reasons. If it is a new symptom then you should see your Doctor or nurse to eliminate physical causes.
Hi I have the same mu shoulders and upper back ache doc said its with trying too hard to breathe and to use my stomach more that's why I need rehab to learn how to breathe properly
Yes, i have the same. Southp. Not been offered rehab though. 😊🌻✌️
Ask your doctor to prescribe pulmonary rehab. If there's none in your area, see if there's a singing for lung health group near you. Regular singing in a structured way can help you breathe from the right place. The BLF has a list on their website.
Thankyou, erg, i will do that. I also, have an extended breast bone, pushed out because of a lifetime fighting for breath. 😊✌️🌻
