Female - late 30's. I get a dull tightening pain in the centre of my chest which can lead to an increased heart rate and often associated with trouble breathing, this can happen anytime of the day or night. I can be in a deep sleep and suddenly wake with this feeling. The pain makes me anxious and have got myself to the state of panic before.
I had puemonia when I was 6 and have scaring on the lungs. I am having a bit of breathing difficulty at moment- seasonal.
I have days when I feel completely fine, but on bad days 60% of time I 'm tired and sometimes feel faint. Symptoms can be worst during middle of female cycle and towards endI. I am unsure wether the chest pain is from breathing/ heart/ hormones or under lying anxiety. I don't have any real cause for stress and am happy in life, my blood pressure is good
