    Heaviness/pressing feeling in chest/cant get a full breath

    Hi all I was just wondering if anyone here feels like their lung(s) don’t fully fill up with air? Yesterday I felt like I couldn’t get a full breath especially with my right lung, and there is slight heaviness lingering on the right side of my chest. It’s not shortness of breath exactly and I’m not gasping or anything. It’s like the right side wont expand fully and there is some pressure feeling. I’m terrified it’s a blood clot but I have no other symptoms, no pain, no swelling in legs, not a fast heartbeat or anything.

    It's one of the most commonly asked questions here. Hundreds (thousands?) of threads about it.

    It's common with anxiety.
