Am I having an asthma attack?

I feel tightness in my heart area, and when I breathe deeply, its very painful. What might be causing this?

Lots of different things could be causing your symptom. Asthma usual has wheezing when you breathe out. Pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, or chest wall strain can cause tightness and pain when you breathe in. Call your local hospital and speak with a nurse.

well if you have asthma, try ur nebulizer, those always work better than in inhaler if its not as bad i think....
but i doubt its an asthma attack though, when i have asthma attacks, i feel like i will die, bcuhs my throat is like closing so i can barely breath!
idk what it is then!

No, athsma is difficulty to breathe. You are having heart problems, like irregular heartbeat. Should get it checked out before you get a cardiac arrest or something.

maybe bronchitis.... but go ahead and take maybe 2 doses of albuterol via nebulizer.... and sleep upward tonight

not asthma thou

what are your other symptoms?
