Lungs and Respiratory Disorders Forum

Hello,

I am a 22yr old male and i have recently had difficulty breathing. It started 2days ago and i have the urge to take a deep breath but it feels like my lungs only fill up about half way. About once every 3 times i try i get a nice full deep breath. I have also occasionaly felt pressure on my chest during the last two days. I have no cough or fever and this is really the only symptom im expierencing. Any suggestions.

BTW:I plan on going to see my doctor tomorrow.

Do you feel pain when taking a deep breath?
Have you ever had similar breathing difficulties in the past?
Are you exposed to mental stress of any kind?
