Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My mother is 45 years old. She is having trouble breathing. Every move exhausts her. She is weak and needs assistance while walking. She always sits in front of a fan or air-conditioner every day while having trouble breathing. It is episodic and she gets attacks while she feels tired. It takes days to get recovered. Previously, she had heart disease but I am not sure about it.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. Your mother is having dyspnea. Due to it, heart failure occurs. It is the inability of the heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood needed for the body. This can also occur due to previous heart problems which can be either rheumatic valvular heart disease or congenital heart disease or coronary artery disease or some sort of cardiomyopathy.
