Question
Doctor! I am 37 years old, often have chest pain that makes it difficult to breathe when inhaling and exhaling, especially when inhaling, my right chest hurts like a needle so I can't breathe. This phenomenon does not happen often, but usually occurs once every 3 to 4 weeks, each time 1 - 3 minutes, it goes away on its own. Normally, if I exercise vigorously or continuously, I will be very tired and have difficulty breathing, I also often feel tired. I am 1.51m tall and weigh 51kg. I usually do sports (badminton, volleyball, ...) and climb stairs every day. Please ask the doctor what is the symptom of shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain like needles when exercising vigorously and constantly warning? Is it dangerous? How is the treatment? I thank you very much, Doctor!

Hello! According to you, the most prominent symptom is fatigue and shortness of breath during vigorous exercise. When you have such symptoms, you should see a cardiologist to see if you have heart failure? You can go to the clinics and hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to receive medical examination and further advice.
