Question
Hello doctor, I am 44 years old. A year ago I had chest pain, shortness of breath and had to sit up straight to take a deep breath slowly, but within a few seconds, this phenomenon no longer appeared. Earlier this year, I saw that phenomenon again, every time I had trouble breathing, I felt it spread to my head and salivated. The doctor asked me if this phenomenon is due to the heart? I hope you can answer me, thank you doctor.

Hello Phuong Mai. Chest pain can be caused by many causes besides cardiovascular disease, you should see an internal medicine specialist for further evaluation.
