Symptoms of Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction
Disease description:
I am 40 years old this year. Recently, I have often felt discomfort in my heart, with symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath. My family members say there might be a problem with my nerves. I would like to ask the doctor: What are the symptoms of vegetative nerve dysfunction?
