[|Human|] Yesterday I was drinking a sip of water when I choked and couldn t breath. This has happened before. My chest was wS tight and very painful. My husband had to stop the car and helped me breath again. It scRed us both. He told me to breath through my nose. Should I go to the hospital. Oh and the evening before I nearly fainted.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely go to hospital and consult doctor. By your history and description, possibility of either heart disease or lung disease is more. So better to get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. Get done respiratory system examination and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out lung disease. If all the above-mentioned reports are normal than sometimes stress and tension can cause similar symptoms. So if you are having stress or tension than avoid it and be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright but first consult doctor and rule out cardiac and Pulmonary causes. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
