Question

I've been feeling a heaviness in my chest when I'm trying to sleep, and it's making it hard for me to breathe. It's strange because I'm not coughing or anything. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

I'm a 29-year-old male with a BMI of 32, and I've been dealing with this weird chest pain for the last 6 to 8 months.

Could this be something serious, or is it just normal?
