Chest Pain
The chest pain caused by hypersensitivity pneumonitis may be more accurately described as pressure or discomfort. A person may experience a squeezing sensation, as if someone is standing on them or there's a band pulling their chest tight. It may be difficult to breathe.3‘Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17898-hypersensitivity-pneumonitis
This pain can occur with a single, acute case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis or in chronic cases. While a person may recover more easily from acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis, recovery can still take several weeks, and pain and headaches may linger.1‘Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.’ A Non-Profit Hospital in Los Angeles | Cedars-Sinai, 8 2020, www.cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/h/hypersensitivity-pneumonitis.html
