Hello doctor! Doctor, tell me, I have had chest tightness and difficulty breathing for more than 7 years now, but every time I feel chest tightness like someone is squeezing my heart, breathing becomes harder. May I ask, if I have chest pain and shortness of breath for a long time, do I have heart disease? Since then, I have not had a heart check-up. Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!
