I am a 20 year old female and recently I have been having severe pain in my chest accompanied by irregular breathing sometimes also shortness of breath and very few times irregular heart beats. I have also recently experienced pelvic and stomach pains during and after sex and irregular bleeding. I have felt very weak and tired with slight appetite changes too. I am more or less wondering what could be wrong with me? Asthma and cancer both run in my family and my mother recently got rid of the beginning stages of HPV
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having asthma as asthma is more common in your age group, and you are also having family history of asthma. No need to worry about cancer. Asthma is often associated with HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and this HERD causes stomach pain. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose asthma, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). For HERD related stomach pain, take pantoprazole on empty stomach. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
