Chest Pain & Breathlessness Evaluation by Dr. Priyanka Aggarwal
Chest pain and breathlessness are worrying symptoms that should never be ignored. These feelings can range from mild discomfort to severe trouble. Breathlessness means feeling short of air even during normal activities like walking or climbing stairs. Chest pain may feel sharp, tight, burning, or heavy. Causes can be related to lungs (asthma, COPD, infections, allergies), heart problems, muscle strain, acidity, or anxiety. Sometimes multiple issues combine together. Early and proper evaluation is very important to find the exact reason and start the right treatment before the condition worsens.
How Dr. Priyanka Evaluates Chest Pain & Breathlessness
Dr. Aggarwal follows a systematic and complete process:
- Detailed History: She listens carefully to your symptoms — when they start, what makes them worse, associated problems like cough, wheezing, fever, or palpitations, and your lifestyle habits.
- Physical Examination: She checks breathing sounds, heart rate, oxygen levels, and other important signs.
- Essential Tests:
- Spirometry and lung function tests to check breathing capacity
- Chest X-ray or HRCT scan to see lungs clearly
- Allergy testing if needed
- ECG or other heart-related checks to rule out cardiac causes
- Blood tests and sputum examination when infection is suspected
- Advanced Procedures: For complex cases, she may perform bronchoscopy or other interventional tests at Max Hospital.
- Clear Diagnosis: She explains the findings in simple words and discusses whether the problem is mainly in the lungs, heart, or elsewhere.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Once the cause is known, she starts targeted treatment including medicines, inhalers, breathing exercises, or further specialist referral if required.
