Tightness

Morning everyone, hope you're staying safe.

My wife has c.o.p.d. & she gets tightness under her ribcage which moves round on her side & then in between her shoulder blades. She says it's like she's being squeezed.

Does anyone have a similar thing ?

Thank you, stay safe.

Thank you. Xxx

If possible make a telephone appointment with her doctor to discuss these symptoms. It may or may not be a lung infection, if it is she will need to treat this asap to prevent things getting any worse.

Take good care both of you.
