Iain, bronchial itching can be caused by an ashthematic condition, and I would therefore suggest that you should get in to see your GP about this as soon as possible.

It does not in itself denote anything serious, but it may well be an allergic reaction that needs to be isolated and treated.

Thank you for your reply I have a hospital appointment later I'm going to speak to them about it they think maybe my tablets have set my asthma off so thank you for your comment hopefully get to bottom of it

I'm very pleased that you have sorted this problem out Iain.

It only goes to show that there is always an explanation as to why our systems occasionally give us problems.

Now you you can get on with enjoying your life.

I wish you well Iain.

All the best

Rod

This can be a broncial problem.  Have you had bronchitis or bronchial pneumonia at any time if so that could be the cause.  You may need medication or even an inhaler. Go to your doctor and see what he suggests.

Just wanted to say thanks to Rod for the precise diagnosis and insight. i am from Canada and this diagnosis just gave me some clarity on a similar problem. Although I have no asthma... I do have allergic reactions and have been taking antihistamine medications. there were no pollen outbreak today so that might explain it. But I am not sure now if this might have more to do with indigestion or heart burn. Thanks

I have the same itchy heart sensation throughout the day. I have no asthma history. Can somebody please suggest if they have experienced this and guide me on how to get rid of this. Thanks

I get a sharp pain in my heart accompanied with a deep itch in the same area, it's worse after I sneeze, but lasts all day and worsens when stressed. Been going on for about a month now. I went to the doctor yesterday and got and EKG, blood tested for blood clots, heart echo, and chest x rays. All seem okay. I haven't had asthma or any type of bronchitis or pneumonia and am in general good health (27 years old). I'm discussing the issue again with my doctor in a few days to see what the problem is and fill you all in. Please let me know if anyone has had similar issues and what the source was thank you!

I also have this feeling deep in my life is/ chest like ltchy and my back is starting to ache! I have asthma and have suffered alot with phnuminia before. I only sneezed and had a couple coughs today. Starting to not feel well at all :-(. I will try my inhaler and see if that makes a difference. I am a medical courier and I go in and out of the hospital etc. So I am always in contact with illness uggg not good

I'm currently experiencing that! I discarded the possibility of having covid-19 by getting tested. Then today I went to the doctor and they did a physical on me and found me to be normal and good but ordered an x ray of my lungs & chest area. The c rays came out looking normal & good. I seem like a crazy person, but something inside my chest itches all day & night! I don't know what's wrong with me yet!

I get the internal "itchy" sensation ,and a mild ache, right in the centre chest (slightly left), a day or two after intense cardio exercise. It is driving me crazy. I have had all the basic heart related tests, they have all come back normal. I have no history of asthma. I wish I knew what it was. One sports specialist said they thinking it is breathing mechanics related.
