Patient's question:
2 months ago until now, I always breathe through my mouth when sleeping, sometimes struggling to catch my breath for half a breath before finally moving and being able to sleep all night. This has happened repeatedly, and it gets worse in the second half of the night. During the day, everything is normal, but in the morning, I wake up with leg pain.Past treatment and effectiveness:
I haven’t been treated yet. I’m allergic to cephalosporins, and there’s no family history.
What kind of help do you want:
Is this condition likely to get worse? What caused it? Is it because the child doesn’t eat much and might be calcium-deficient?
Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Chest tightness is a subjective sensation of chest fullness and impaired breathing. In mild cases, it may be neurotic, resulting from the inability of the heart and lungs to adjust functionally. Western medicine diagnosis confirms no significant organic inflammation. In severe cases, it is caused by diseases affecting both the heart and lungs, such as coronary heart disease, insufficient myocardial blood supply, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or cor pulmonale, with Western medicine diagnosis confirming significant organic lesions. Treatment should be determined based on specific conditions. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if I sometimes feel short of breath while taking a nap at night?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
