[|Human|] Hi, I am having a really hard time breathing and I am wondering what it is coming from. I am 19 years old and have a hiatal hernia. I have a really hard time breathing and feel like I am going to pass out I really don"t know what to do please help me!
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Breathing difficulty in young patient (19 years) is mostly due to asthma or heart disease (valvular heart diseases). So better to consult doctor and get done ECG, 2d echo and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Ecg and 2d echo are needed to rule out heart diseases.PFT is must for the diagnosis asthma. You may need surgical repair if valvular heart disease is detected. You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) if asthma is diagnosed.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.
