Hello. Shortness of breath and a dry cough may be just symptoms of breathing. But it could be due to heart disease. At your age, there is rarely a physical disease of the heart and lungs unless you have congenital heart disease (disease in the womb) and need to be diagnosed with echocardiography.
You can go to another place with more prestige such as Cardiology - Hospital of Vinmec Health System to have echocardiography for comparison. Hope to see you soon to discuss the case of shortness of breath, dry cough diagnosed with heart failure, what to do? Wishing you good health always.
