My daughter who is 28yrs old has for the past year been experiencing breathing problems to the extent she cannot exercise. Sometimes she finds it difficult to draw breath when she is walking down the street....on Saturday she had burning sensation in her chest and was unable to walk up stairs in the train station. My daughter always ran every day, she also suffers from has MS
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should first consult cardiologist and get done 2D Echo to rule out worsening MS (Mitral Stenosis). As if progressive MS when reaches ate the stage of critical narrowing, the left atrial pressure will increase. This in turn causes back pressure in pulmonary veins. So pulmonary edema develops. Which causes breathlessness. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 2D Echo to rule out this. It is better to get done surgical repair of valvular repair. So discuss all these with your doctor and start treatment.
