Hello! Shortness of breath is a common symptom of the heart and lungs. At your age, there is rarely a physical disease of the heart and lungs unless you have congenital heart disease (disease in the womb). If the symptoms are transient and go away on their own, you do not need to worry. But if it makes you uncomfortable, affects your life, especially symptoms increase with exertion, you should see a cardiologist and respiratory specialist.
If you still have questions about the issue of "short breath, short of breath is a symptom of what disease? Do you need to see a doctor right away? “You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice from doctors.
