What Causes Discomfort In Throat And Issue In Breathing?
Hi, my name is Mary. My mother who is 49 years old, has been feeling a scratchy throat and then feels some trouble breathing like her chest is pushing weight on her and then she feels a bit claustrophobic and her heart starts beating faster. She's never been diagnosed with any problems and i don't know what could be triggering it or how i can help.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of heart or lung related diseases is more in your mother's case. So consult doctor and get done 1. Ecg, 2d echo and stress test to rule out heart diseases like heart failure or coronary artery disease (CAD). 2. Clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. She may need cardiac supportive drugs or inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of these reports. Don't worry, she will be alright. First diagnose her and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
