Does Anyone Else Have A Tightness In Their Lungs?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Dellroy, OH

This may not even be related to RA. I honestly don’t know much about it yet, so I don’t know if all or any of my symptoms outside of pain even relate to it. I feel like my lungs are always tight lately, like I can’t take a satisfying breath.

Amberg330 I am 63 and diagnosed with asthma at 28 and now having problems with my asthma since April. Haven’t used inhalers in years and now using daily. My Allergist said it can effect the lungs.

I have read about tightness in the chest being related to RA. Of course any thing new happening should be discussed with your doctor to ensure what the cause is.
