Why do I have chest tightness, especially in the morning?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Based on your description, chest tightness can be due to many causes, such as asthma, smoking, musculoskeletal pain, gastric upset, and heart issues. Heart issues at a young age are uncommon. Do you have asthma, wheezing, chest or muscular pain, or any other disease?

I would suggest the following investigation:

• An ECG (electrocardiograph).
• Complete blood count.
• ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate).

Preventive measures include quitting smoking, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy body weight.

Kindly get back to us with details.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Please do follow these instructions. Stop smoking weed. Get the chest auscultated by a physician to listen for wheeze. Sometimes, there is only wheeze in asthma with no symptoms except chest tightness in the early morning. Do exercise, have a Mediterranean diet, and lose weight. Get an ECG (electrocardiography) done when you have chest discomfort.

This is to be on the safe side; otherwise, the chance of cardiac issues is improbable. You have exercise-induced asthma. This is asymptomatic at rest, and symptoms of difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and chest tightness occur only during exercise or exertion, especially in cold weather. Nebulization with saline or with Salbutamol (or in inhaler form) relieves symptoms.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
