Why does a 15-year-old girl have difficulty breathing when sleeping and feel chest tightness?

The body of a 15-year-old girl is in the best period of development. At this stage, the girl's body flexibility is very high, and functions in all aspects are gradually improving. Girls should be most energetic when they are around 15 years old. But some parents find that their daughters have difficulty breathing and feel chest tightness when sleeping. So, why does a 15-year-old girl have difficulty breathing and feel chest tightness when sleeping?

1. The reason why a 15-year-old girl has difficulty breathing when sleeping and feels chest tightness

1. Generally, if you experience chest tightness or difficulty breathing, you should consider cardiopulmonary disease or neurosis. In the above situation, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment, check the electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, and chest X-ray. If no abnormalities are found, it may be cardiac neurosis. Generally, oral administration of GABA and vitamin B will gradually improve.

It manifests as breathing difficulties during sleep, and several possibilities need to be considered: bronchial asthma, arrhythmia, heart failure, etc. It is recommended that you consider going to the local hospital's internal medicine department for relevant routine examinations including lung function and electrocardiogram.

2. Causes of Arrhythmia

Arrhythmia is often seen in various organic heart diseases, among which coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis are the most common. This is especially common when heart failure occurs. Other causes include electrolyte or endocrine disorders, anesthesia, hypothermia, thoracic or cardiac surgery, drug effects and central nervous system diseases, some of which are unknown.

How to treat arrhythmia

1. General treatment currently includes increasing myocardial autonomy and/or accelerating conduction through Western medicines such as isoproterenol and atropine, and non-drug therapies such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and radiofrequency ablation. In some cases, methods such as compressing the eyeballs, massaging the carotid sinus, pinching the nose to exhale forcefully, and holding the breath can also relieve arrhythmias by reflexively stimulating the vagus nerve.

2. Commonly used antiarrhythmic drugs There are nearly 50 kinds of antiarrhythmic drugs currently in clinical use, and there is still no unified classification standard. Most scholars agree that antiarrhythmic drugs should be divided into the following four categories based on their different effects on the heart to guide rational clinical drug use. Class I drugs are further divided into three subcategories: A, B, and C.
