Answered by Doctor Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine, Vinmec Hai Phong International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Do you have palpitations, shortness of breath, startling because of cardiovascular disease? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Chest pain is caused by many causes: Cardiovascular disease, chest wall muscle disease, intercostal neuropathy, lung and pleural disease,... In case you have pain chest pain accompanied by shortness of breath and tachycardia, palpitations, this chest pain is very cautiously caused by cardiovascular disease. You need to see a specialist in heart disease to be examined and consulted by a doctor.
If you still have questions about frequent palpitations, shortness of breath, startling, 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.
