Hello Doctor! I am 29 years old, working in an office. I have symptoms of chest heaviness, shortness of breath, a feeling of heaviness in the middle of my chest that has lasted for several years. But there are periods when it goes away, then it comes back, and it doesn't affect work and health much. However, there is often a feeling of fatigue and loss of concentration, quickly exhausted when doing heavy work. I sleep on time and eat well. Please consult your doctor for the above symptoms. Thank you doctor!
