Extreme Tightness/Pain Around Chest

Hi dittohio, and thanks for your post. First, let me congratulate you on being a lung cancer survivor!! You must feel terrific about beating lung cancer!!
As for the tightness and pain you're feeling in your chest (from COPD), I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Have you had an opportunity to discuss this with your physician?
If there is anything we can do to assist you, please let me or any other moderator / team member know.
You are certainly in the right place to share thoughts about COPD.
Please know you are always welcome here!
All the best,
Leon (site moderator COPD.net)
