Patient's question:
Doctor, when I am doing activities, such as running or playing basketball, I experience shortness of breath, heavy panting, and my lips turn pale and purple. I feel like I can no longer continue to stand. What should I do to resolve this issue? Am I saved?Doctor's answer:
From the symptoms and description provided by the patient, it cannot yet be confirmed that the symptoms are caused by congenital heart disease. It is normal for breathing and heart rate to slow down during intense exercise. If symptoms can be relieved after rest, it indicates that the heart can tolerate the condition. If you have congenital heart disease, you may consider visiting a cardiology department or a cardiac surgery department. Most tertiary hospitals have cardiac surgery departments. Most congenital heart diseases can be managed, and you can go to the hospital for diagnosis.
