instruction: hello doctor I am having difficulty in breathing it is like I always need to take deep breaths and I think it gets worse after I eat on top of that it triggers an anxiety attack most of the time another thing is there is this sensation in my chest I do not know if is right to call it as tightening or pressure usually when I stand up it somehow alleviates that sensation but the breathing difficulty is still there sometimes all of the symptoms go away like for hours but then it comes back I think I am having these symptoms for three weeks or a month now I am doing self diagnosis and I do not really know which of these is it costochondritis angina herd or copd that is why now I am seeking the help of a professional I just hope it is nothing serious
output: hello welcome to icliniq com do you have any other symptoms like cough and colds history of trauma fever body aches diarrhea or throat pain when did you feel tightening or pressure in the chest area any numbness or weakness in the left arm do you feel any burning sensation at the epigastric region just below your sternum part of the upper abdomen will you do frequent throat clearing you also mentioned it gets worse after eating what food usually triggers it do you experience bloatedness or frequent flatulation does it get better when you burp or flatulate have you tried any medication do you smoke did this happen before perhaps the anxiety is due to the uncertainty or fear that it might be related to couid but based on what you have described so far it is highly unlikely I understand the eco does not really help and a lot of people are also having the same issue when we confine ourselves within the premises of our home for this long it takes a lot of things from us the quarantine has taken our slight sense of freedom control and changed it to what we know now as the new normal but please understand that it might take sometime before the quarantine is lifted but know all of these things are only temporary so far your symptom is pointing to dyspepsia umbrella for herd hyperacidity etc but I need answers to some of the questions mentioned above in order to strengthen the diagnosis
