Doctor I am 18 neither I smoke n I eat tobacco. Bt I am facing breathing problem i.e. Unable to take deep breath from last 1 n 1/2 months n last week I suffered from cold due to which I had to spit sputum as a result I feel somewhat relieved bt now no sputum comes out bt I still feel I am not able to take full oxygen in lungs due to which I feel irritated. N since when this breathing problem started, started to feel a light heaviness on the left chest area (at the end of ribs) when I fall on bed with body straight for sleeping this also causes more difficulty in breathing n when I bend on left or right side I feel no heaviness earlier it was not regular bt now I feel this heaviness regularly making me uncomfortable sometimes at the end of left ribs n sometimes in between the end of both ribs. The heaviness I like a light pressure. N I am having hypothyroid which I got tested 3 months ago n I took medication of it i.e. Thyrobless for 20 days. My exams r coming n I am unable to study becoz of the anxiety of some serious problem. What is the reason for heaviness n the problem of unable to take deep breath?

Your problems are anxiety and you may also have infection in chest and inflammation over the ribs. You may need medicines for reducing anxiety and antibiotics s well. You need a checkup.
