QuestionHello doctor,
3 years ago I had symptoms of left chest pain with shortness of breath when inhaling, had to yawn to catch my breath, especially when lying down. When I went to the doctor for the first time, I was diagnosed with a disorder of other transmitters, taking medicine did not help, I went to a private examination, the doctor said I had intercostal neuritis, the 3rd examination said that I had thyroid goiter. and body dysmorphic disorder, taking medicine also helps. At the 3 visits above, the doctor did all the tests: electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, X-ray all had no problem. It hasn't come back for a few years, but for a few days now I have the same symptoms as above. With this pandemic situation, I don't dare to go to the doctor again. Doctor let me ask, what is left chest pain with shortness of breath? Please advise, thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question "What is the sign of left chest pain with shortness of breath?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Do you have a diagnosis of intercostal neuritis, or TD goiter and tangles? Body dysmorphic disorders, are not symptoms of cardiovascular disease, but only cause symptoms like cardiovascular disease. Other than that, the tests are all normal so there is no danger. You should rest, practice deep breathing, meditate, exercise, avoid stress, live in moderation, don't use stimulants such as alcohol, beer, coffee, tobacco,... If it doesn't help, you should Contact a psycho-psychiatrist for a diagnosis, possibly giving additional medication for body dysmorphic disorder.
If you still have questions about left chest pain, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
