Hello doctor! I'm 20 years old this year, I've been having trouble breathing for 3 months now, I've been in the hospital 3 times and still haven't gotten better. I checked the heart and lungs were normal, diagnosed as autonomic dysfunction, vestibular disorder, hypokalemia. In addition, I often have left chest pain, prolonged shortness of breath, a feeling of not breathing enough oxygen, so I want to take a deep breath, it is very uncomfortable, my head is dizzy, and my ears are ringing. Sometimes the heart rate goes up to 120 beats/min. This phenomenon has persisted for 2 months now. Taking medicine still doesn't help. The doctor told me so what disease I have and what to do? Looking forward to hearing from your doctor. I would like to thank you!

Hello! According to you, you have gone to the doctor and treated many times, have checked your heart and lungs are normal, if this result is correct, your symptoms may not be related to cardiopulmonary disease. Vestibular disorder is a neurological disease, you should see a neurologist for better examination and advice. In addition, if your cardiopulmonary function is normal, you can increase exercise that will help you improve the symptoms of tachycardia.
You should go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide or reputable medical facilities for more advice. When you go to the doctor, you should bring old records so that the doctor can have more necessary information.
Thank you for trusting Vinmec. Best regards!
