There is a history of heart disease, shortness of breath, chest pain, what to do?

Question:
Hello Doctor. My mother suffered from heart disease more than 20 years ago. Before my mother went to the doctor, but it was mild, so the doctor gave me medicine to drink. Today, my mother has difficulty breathing again, chest tightness pressing down on her waist. I hope the doctor can give me some advice about my mother's medical condition. Thank you doctor.

Hello, Ms. With your condition, you should have your doctor screen for coronary artery disease, by means of electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, coronary computed tomography ... for early intervention and treatment, Otherwise, there will be a risk of heart attack, heart failure, very dangerous to health.
