Can shortness of breath cause sudden cardiac arrest?
1. Whether shortness of breath can lead to sudden cardiac arrest generally depends on the specific condition of the patient. If the patient's condition is mild, it generally does not cause sudden cardiac arrest. If the patient's condition is severe, it generally does cause sudden cardiac arrest.
2. The symptoms of shortness of breath are relatively mild and may only lead to dyspnea, tachypnea, limited activity, and other symptoms. After actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment plan, the symptoms recover quickly and generally do not result in sudden cardiac arrest. If the patient's shortness of breath symptoms are severe, having a significant impact on the patient's life and frequently recurring, it may lead to sudden cardiac arrest.
3. Shortness of breath is usually caused by cardiomyopathy and other diseases. Cardiomyopathy is a common heart disease. Besides shortness of breath, it can also cause angina pectoris and other symptoms. Regardless of whether it can cause sudden cardiac arrest, immediate measures should be taken for treatment. Generally, medications such as Furosemide Tablets and Spironolactone Tablets are required.
4. During the treatment of the disease, attention should be paid to one's own care and emotional control, avoiding drastic fluctuations.
