When symptoms of shortness of breath occur, do not panic, but first clarify what the cause of the shortness of breath is.
The symptoms of shortness of breath can often be effectively relieved by correcting the cause after it has been identified. For example, for those with arrhythmias causing shortness of breath, ventricular rate control and anti-arrhythmic drugs can be given. Patients with heart failure are treated with cardiac stimulation, diuretics, vasodilators and cardiac function improvement. Patients with neurosis generally require active psychological support, and psychologists can assist in the diagnosis and treatment, providing emotional placebo if necessary. For those with episodic shortness of breath due to physiological causes, rest can effectively relieve it.
