Patient's question:
I often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and it feels comfortable without needing deep breaths. Moreover, my spleen and stomach are both out of balance, so I wonder if the chest tightness and shortness of breath are caused by an imbalance in the spleen and stomach.Doctor's answer:
If the spleen and stomach are not in good condition, it may lead to symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing again. You can apply cold compresses to the abdomen and massage in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal movement. Maintain regular meal times and consider taking some Chinese herbal medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach. This can help alleviate symptoms like chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. It could also be a heart problem, so it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm the cause before treatment. For an imbalance in the spleen and stomach, Chinese herbal medicine is the best choice, such as Xiang Sha Yang Wei, which includes Codonopsis, cardamom, white atractylodes, Poria, safflower, jujube, licorice, Astragalus, coix seed, and ginger. For dietary supplements, use congee as the base with, coix seed, and jujube. If there is qi stagnation, you can add tangerine peel and rosebuds.
