The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] Hi, my mother age 70, is having pain and breathing difficulty in the chest since the last two days. She also feels numbness in the legs and this morning, she acted as if she was mentally ill. Please let me what else could be happening with her besides the heart problem.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of heart related diseases is more in your mothers case. Besides heart diseases, lung diseases like lung infection and bronchitis can also cause similar symptoms. So consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. She may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of these reports. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
