Son previously had a cold and then started sighing deeply. He went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with heart muscle damage.

Patient's question:

The son had a cold in March, during which he experienced sighing and also twitched his face while sighing, a bit like facial spasms. After the cold subsided, the sighing still occurred occasionally, especially during times of heavy exercise. Now that he has caught a cold again, the frequency of sighing has increased.

Doctor's answer:

The common cold is a viral infection that can cause myocardial immune damage, leading to severe arrhythmias, heart failure, and other cardiac organic damage. In severe cases, it may cause sudden death, requiring active control and treatment. Clinical manifestations include chest tightness, palpitations, fatigue, and exertional discomfort. In severe cases, abnormal heart function and abnormal echocardiogram results may occur. Diagnosis and treatment can be confirmed through myocardial biopsy and exclusion of other diseases.
