Question
Hello doctor,
Recently, I often have a sharp pain in the left chest area, and sometimes I feel a burning sensation in the chest area right at the heart. At the same time, I often have difficulty breathing. So the doctor asked me if the chest pain with shortness of breath is a heart disease? Should I go to the doctor right away? Thank you.
