Hello,
With the question “Is it often difficult to breathe with pain in the middle of the chest, is it heart disease? , the doctor answered as follows:
Chest pain can be a sign of many different diseases. If it is a transient chest pain, it is only a small symptom of common diseases such as indigestion. However, if chest tightness occurs continuously, related to exertion, repeated with increasing intensity, then it is more likely to be a sign of particularly dangerous diseases. Chest pain has many causes, usually due to the following main causes:
Chest pain due to cardiovascular disease. Chest pain due to pleural disease. Chest pain due to disease of the chest wall. Given your current symptoms are unusual. You should immediately see a cardiologist for an electrocardiogram and ultrasound.
