    I might be concerned about the shortness of breath, depending on how it manifests. I have chest pain sometimes and it is hard to take a deep breath because of the pain. I've had costo so long that I have adjusted to the pain, so my breaths are shallow most of the time.

    Not sure why you would be feeling hot. Have you been evaluated by a physician.

      i think maybe because its so painfull to take a deep breath i am not breathing enough which i think that leads towards me feeling short of breath but unfortunately becasue of the coronavirus i havent been able to see a doctor he just spoke to me over the phone and i told him my symptoms and he diagnosed me with costo ! thanks for the reply x

      Well, it makes sense that if you're not breathing enough or if you're not breathing deeply, you would be short of breath...costo can cause so many issues that look like other things. Just be sure to contact your doctor or go to the ER if you have severe chest pain that doesn't go away.

    My chest pain comes and goes especially when its cold or i have been doing heavy or stretching work in my garden. Even air conditioning or a regular fan will trigger it off.

    yes that happens i found that the arm movement clapping for the nhs stresses my chest and brings on twinges in my chest so i stop immediately and rest . wary if unusual movements they can start chest wall muscle spasms
