Hello doctor! I often have shallow breathing, my heart beats fast when I'm about to fall asleep, I feel like I don't have enough air when I breathe in, I try to breathe hard, I choke, it's very uncomfortable, maybe that's why I have a habit of stopping breathing. about 1-2 seconds. I noticed that I had been short of breath since I was a child, and doing things that require a lot of endurance such as running are very difficult. About 1-2 years shallow breathing occurs more often. So let me ask, often shallow breathing, heart palpitations when sleeping, why? Please consult your doctor about this situation. If possible, I would like to receive an email response. I sincerely thank you!

Hello! With the question "often shallow breathing, heart palpitations when sleeping, why? "Doctors recommend cardiovascular examinations such as: Electrocardiogram and echocardiography to screen for congenital heart disease if present.
Besides, you have to spend time to participate in certain sports such as jogging, swimming... drink a lot of fruit juice. If you still have questions about the above issue, you can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice.
