Reasons for constant chest tightness and shortness of breath

Nowadays, the most popular word is "depressed". When people feel that "depressed" is not enough to express it, the word "chest tightness" has become a "popular keyword" that follows the fashion trend. Failure, embarrassment, frustration, and helplessness are all described as "chest tightness". In fact, patients with real chest tightness symptoms will never feel so relaxed when saying this word. The feeling of shortness of breath and severe lack of oxygen can make people feel like they are dying. The occurrence of chest tightness indicates the presence of some organic or functional diseases and should not be underestimated.

Chest tightness is a symptom of subjective feeling of difficulty breathing

Chest tightness caused by organic reasons: First, cardiac chest tightness - characterized by chest tightness and dyspnea after fatigue, or paroxysmal dyspnea at night. Patients may wake up from sleep due to suffocation. It is seen in patients with heart disease with pulmonary congestion and heart failure. Chest tightness can also be a manifestation of angina pectoris when myocardial ischemia occurs in coronary heart disease.

The second is pulmonary chest tightness, which is seen in bronchial asthma, pleural effusion, spontaneous pneumothorax, pulmonary fibrosis, etc. Chest tightness caused by neurological functional reasons - common in cardiovascular dysfunction. Patients feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and subjectively feel that there is not enough air and breathing difficulties. They often breathe like sighing and feel comfortable after exhaling a long breath. Sometimes they are also accompanied by palpitations, stabbing pain in the precordial area, as well as neurological symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, confusion, anxiety, sweating, and insomnia. The disease sometimes resembles coronary heart disease and angina pectoris, but electrocardiogram, cardiac B-ultrasound and other examinations do not reveal any organic lesions.

According to the above statement, we should know that this is caused by our internal body. We cannot be too relieved, which is not good for us. So what should we do? If it is serious, just go to the hospital and then follow the doctor's instructions. Only by taking the right medicine can our condition be better treated. I hope the above statement can help you.
