How to treat chest tightness and shortness of breath from running

Running chest tightness, shortness of breath and dyspnea may be a normal phenomenon, which can be relieved after resting; it may also be caused by myocardial ischemia and cardiac insufficiency induced by exercise, which should be treated with corresponding medications such as nitroglycerin, and if necessary, surgery.
1. Physiological reasons: Running may cause chest tightness, shortness of breath and dyspnea due to insufficient exercise tolerance and insufficient oxygen-carrying capacity, which is generally a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment, and it can be gradually relieved through proper rest.
2. Myocardial ischemia: If the patient himself has heart disease, such as coronary heart disease, when running and other sports, can make myocardial contraction force increase, tachycardia, thus causing chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea.
Can follow the doctor’s instructions to use drugs such as isosorbide mononitrate anti-myocardial ischemia, aspirin, atorvastatin and other drugs to prevent myocardial infarction. Use of drugs to pay attention to bleeding, liver function abnormalities and other side effects. If the condition is more serious, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting can be considered to improve blood supply.
3. Cardiac insufficiency: If the patient has chronic cardiac insufficiency, running may cause the body to lack oxygen, resulting in chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea. Furosemide, digoxin, sacubitril valsartan and other drugs can be used to improve cardiac function as prescribed by the doctor, and the medication should pay attention to the side effects such as hypokalemia, blurred vision and hypotension. Attention is also paid to standardized treatment of combined organic heart disease.
When running continues to appear chest tightness, shortness of breath, dyspnea, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, to clarify the specific causes of the disease and standardize the treatment, the drug needs to be used under the guidance of a physician.
