Hello,
With the question “What's wrong with chest tightness and dizziness when changing positions? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
To determine if there is an increase in head temperature, you can use an infrared metronome to measure. Symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath can be seen in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Meanwhile, dizziness and lightheadedness are symptoms of cerebral circulatory insufficiency, which may be caused by anemia, low blood pressure, hypoxemia,...
This condition should not be left for long because can directly affect the heart and nerves, you should soon go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause and appropriate treatment. At the hospital, the doctor can order you to do blood tests, electrocardiograms, chest X-rays, etc. in accordance with your condition after being examined.
If you still have questions about chest tightness and dizziness when changing positions, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
