About a month after bringing down a ceiling with a lot of dust exposure I started to experience quite suddenly a shortness of breath and very strange sensation in my chest . I wouldnt call it a pain , its like a sort of trapped nerving burning sensation . Its constant and has been affecting me /ruining my life for over 3 months .Ive had lots of checks and spent a ton of money but am still no closer to finding out what it is. Anyone else had this .

This is what I have done so far:-

Gerd/reflux-  do have , had a linx implant 2 years ago and still take PPI's and eat well so not sure if this is the cause?

Heart - had various checks and is healthy apart from an iregular heartbeat. Aorta is slightly dilated.

Lungs- had xray and ct scan . Seem healthly. No asthma symptoms

Thyroid-- slightly lower than normal but ct scan oo

ENT-  had swollen vocal cords and an infection . After antibiotics this has mostly gone. Xray on nose ok 

After 3 months of being bounced between Drs Im no closer to finding out what this . Curious to know if anyone else had this?

    Sometimes asthma symptoms don't show up on x Ray's. It can be an allergic reaction. I myself have been experiencing shortness of breath for almost 2 months. I've been to the hospital thinking heart attack but they did all tests and came back normal. I'd go to a pulmanologist and have them check you out. They check lungs and certain problems with the lungs. This Wednesday I have an appointment and going to get check for asthma. Remember asthma sometimes doesn't show certain symptoms. I was put on celexa for anxiety because of the shortness of breath. It helps keep me calm.

      And I'm a construction worker. Constantly around dust and fumes. Everytime its humid outside my symptoms get worse. If its dusty they get worse also. So just pay attention to when your symptoms get worse you may find what's causing it. Don't fret my friend.
