What causes chest tightness and shortness of breath?

Arrhythmia: The most common cause. A normal person's heartbeat rhythm is regular and the frequency is suitable for physiological needs. The heart beats slower when resting and faster when exercising; children beat faster and the elderly beat slower. The regular beating of the heart relies on the regular stimulation of weak electrical signals emitted by its special tissue, the "sinoatrial node". If there is a problem with the generation and conduction of this electrical signal, the heartbeat will be too fast, too slow or irregular, which is called arrhythmia.

Left heart failure: more common in hypertension, coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease, etc. The precursor symptoms are that the person likes to raise his pillow when sleeping and is often awakened by chest tightness and shortness of breath. Sudden onset of nocturnal dyspnea is a typical symptom of left heart failure.

Respiratory diseases: Chronic respiratory diseases usually cause obstruction leading to alveolar enlargement, decreased elasticity, and impaired lung function. These are common in chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma, tuberculosis, etc. They manifest as difficulty breathing, and coughing is aggravated by the slightest activity. Sputum is difficult to cough up, so treatment should be sought early.
