I'm 22 and whenever I walk up and down the stairs, I get quite breathless. Can you suggest what I can do to help improve my airflow? Also, what kind of tests should I consider to pinpoint the issue? I've heard about the ABD testwould that be relevant for these symptoms? Plus, even a short 5-minute dance leaves me out of breath. Any advice would be really helpful.

View allI've noticed something odd whenever I'm laughing hard, and it always catches me off guard. If I take a deep breath in between laughs, I get this sudden, really heavy pain on the right side of my chest, like around the rib or breastbone area. It sticks around for like 20-25 minutes and then just fades away. What's going on with that? I'm a bit concerned.

I'm struggling with breathing issues for the past three months, like I cant get a good deep breath sometimes, and it's like something is blocking me. Plus, I'm getting this tight feeling in my throat. I had a chest X-ray, but it showed nothing wrong. Could this be due to my gas problem or something else? What should I do?
since chest xray is normal, need not to worry. reduce your stress levels

I've been experiencing this bizarre sensation latelywhenever I try to lift something heavy, my lungs start to hurt and my breathing gets all rapid. It feels like my lungs are almost trying to escape out my mouth, and it's honestly pretty scary. Could you recommend any effective medication to help with this? I'm looking for some relief and would appreciate your advice.
Experiencing pain and rapid breathing when lifting heavy objects could be related to several factors, including musculoskeletal strain, improper lifting techniques, or underlying respiratory issues. While medication can help manage symptoms, its important to identify and address the root cause. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, consider avoiding heavy lifting, using proper lifting techniques, and practicing deep breathing exercises to help manage your symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may provide temporary relief, but please consult your doctor before taking any medication.
