Many children often experience chest tightness and shortness of breath, which will directly affect their daily life. Many parents become very anxious when their children experience chest tightness and shortness of breath, and rush to take their children to see a doctor or give them some medicine.

1. Physiological factors: Women’s reproductive systems, including the ovaries, begin to develop and mature from puberty, secreting large amounts of estrogen, which triggers monthly menstruation and the formation of obvious female characteristics. Chest tightness and shortness of breath are closely related to the level of sex hormone secretion. The estrogen secretion in young women is more vigorous, the subcutaneous fat thickens, and the oxygen consumption of adipose tissue is greater than that of muscle tissue, so young women will suffer from insufficient oxygen supply to the human body and experience chest tightness and shortness of breath.

2. Psychological factors: Mainly caused by unpleasant emotions such as depression and bad mood. Girls tend to be sensitive in emotions. When they encounter unpleasant things, they tend to sulk and feel unhappy, which often makes them feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. According to psychologists, chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by this reason is the most common. It seems that you have to be open-minded about everything; don't be too picky.

I believe that through the above article everyone should understand why children experience chest tightness and shortness of breath. Compared with adults, children have much weaker resistance, so parents must pay attention to increasing their children's resistance and take their children out for exercise more often, so that children can avoid some diseases.
