Is Difficulty Breathing a Lung Issue?

1. If accompanied by symptoms such as cough and expectoration, it is generally a lung problem. If accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations, arrhythmia, and heart palpitations, it is generally not a lung problem.

2. Difficulty breathing is usually a manifestation of respiratory distress. There are many clinical diseases that can cause respiratory distress, such as obesity, allergies, anxiety, bronchial asthma, pneumonia, etc. Generally speaking, a patient's illness cannot be directly diagnosed based on symptoms alone, but also requires other examinations for judgment. If a patient has symptoms such as cough and expectoration, they are generally considered to be related to lung diseases and need to undergo chest X-ray examinations at a formal hospital for diagnosis. If a patient is accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations, arrhythmia, and heart palpitations, it is generally not a lung problem but is considered to be related to heart disease, requiring timely electrocardiogram and echocardiography examinations at a formal hospital for diagnosis.

3. Lung disease patients should avoid smoking in daily life, avoid overexertion, maintain sufficient rest, ensure indoor ventilation, and maintain a good mindset, which can help alleviate symptoms.
