Cough, phlegm, chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations, etc.

Coughing, sputum, chest tightness, and palpitations are various symptoms. There are many causes. It may be related to cardiopulmonary diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart disease. It may also be related to physiological reasons, such as excessive exercise. If it is serious, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and strengthen prevention in daily life.

Cough, phlegm, chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations

I always feel my heart beating, have difficulty breathing, and feel chest tightness. Judging from the symptoms, I think it is ventricular premature beats, which is the most common arrhythmia. Ventricular premature beats refer to premature contraction of the ventricles, followed by a certain period of compensatory interval. The premature contraction will cause the feeling of heartbeat and palpitations, and the subsequent compensatory interval will cause chest tightness, etc.

Since the electrocardiogram cannot truly reflect the function of the heart, arrhythmia sometimes cannot be shown on the electrocardiogram. The electrocardiogram can only be shown when ventricular premature beats occur. Therefore, it is recommended that you do an electrocardiogram when you feel it. If it cannot be done, you can also do a 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram, which can continuously monitor heart function and is more accurate.

It is recommended that you avoid emotional excitement or fluctuations and strenuous exercise, and stop activities when symptoms occur. Beta-blockers, mexiletine, propafenone and other drugs can be used for treatment.

How to prevent chest tightness and shortness of breath

1. Pay attention to indoor ventilation and hygiene to ensure fresh air circulation. Take more exercise and do more sports to enhance your body's resistance. When the immune system is strengthened, it is less likely to be invaded by viruses, and the chances of developing colds and respiratory diseases are lower.

2. If conditions permit, women should try not to inhale cigarettes and other harmful gases to avoid affecting the bronchi and trachea. In addition, women should pay attention to their diet and try to eat light and balanced food.

3. Massaging the Neiguan point can help women relieve their mood when they feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. When you turn your palm upward, you can see two tendons in the middle of your palm. The middle of the two tendons is where the Neiguan point is located. Neiguan acupoint is an important acupuncture point for heart health. It has the effect of regulating qi and relieving pain. Therefore, when you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, it can temporarily help you regulate your breath and calm your mind.
