Chronic pharyngitis can cause chest tightness and shortness of breath. Pharyngitis is a common inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract, which tends to occur frequently in winter. Patients often have sore throat, itching, hoarseness, foreign body sensation in the pharynx, frequent dry cough and other symptoms. Pharyngitis is not a serious disease, but because of its high incidence and large number of patients, it is easy to be despised. If not treated in time, chronic pharyngitis will develop downward, and may also invade the lower respiratory tract such as the throat, trachea, and bronchus. It will also cause a series of complications, such as acute laryngitis, bronchitis, tracheitis, and pneumonia, accompanied by poor breathing or dyspnea, and shortness of breath in the chest.
