Does this sound like asthma or something else?

Chest tightness, breathlessness, feeling like I need to take deep breaths, I cant even walk upstairs without feeling so out of breath and my chest tightening. Chest pain, palpitations, a cough that comes and goes throughout the day.

Went to the doctor with the chest pain, ECG came back abnormal so I was told to go to A&E. They did a chest xray which was fine but they found a heart murmur so I have been referred for an echo. However the breathlessness is getting so bad now, I just constantly feel like I’ve just finished a run. I have another call with the doctor tomorrow because I’m going to ask if they can check my lungs.

Has anyone had these symptoms before? I know only a doctor can tell me what’s wrong after my tests, not strangers on the internet. But I’m home alone right now and my thoughts are all over the place

Have you had any bloods done? Low haemoglobin can cause breathlessness.

Have they checked your lungs for a blood clot?
