I've been feeling this heavy sensation and pressure on my chest, and it's making it hard to breathe. There's no actual pain, but it's definitely worrying me. What could be causing this shortness of breath? Should I be concerned?

I've been noticing a few things and I'm a bit concerned. Breathing is fine and I don't have any throat pain, but I've been experiencing some chest pain and occasionally my leg hurts. Sometimes there's mucus too. I haven't been exercising for the last month and have mostly been staying at home. Could this be related to my lack of activity, or should I be worried about something else?

once get your ECG done as a screening for cardiac issues,if it turns out to be normal, General physician consultation would help you.
